I am running 26 miles for children facing seizures

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Did you know that 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime? I am running 26 miles in the upcoming weeks and dedicating each step to a child who has epilepsy.

One day in third grade, one of my best friends collapsed in the middle of a soccer field during gym class and had a seizure. For a third grader who had never seen something like this before, I was terrified. This was someone who I cared, and still care, deeply for - and I had no idea what was happening to him. I vividly remember crying while I, and everyone else on the field, was escorted inside. When I caught a glimpse of the ambulance, I knew I should be scared for his life. Fortunately, my friend was alright and I'm thankful for that, but this isn't always the case. Hundreds of thousands of kids suffer from recurrent unprovoked seizures, otherwise known as epilepsy, which puts their lives at risk. This should not be the case.

Your support and donations will go to the Danny Did Foundation that was founded in memory of Danny Stanton who passed away from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) at age 4. His family and the Foundation provide seizure detection alarms to families -in- need. These devices send an alarm to a parent or caregiver which will give them a chance to intervene during a seizure and provide seizure first aid so a child never has to be alone again while having a seizure. To learn more please visit www.dannydid.org or watch this video.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for to support Danny Did in memory of Danny and for all those fighting seizures.

Thank you.
