I wanted to run another marathon but wanted to do it for something bigger than myself.
When I used to work at a summer camp in the North Carolina mountains I remember one week, in particular, there was one child who couldn't do something that the other kids were doing. Every night before the night session loud music would play and lights would flash. This child would stay outside the building until the beginning of the session was over because she had photosensitive epilepsy. The camp was unaware of this condition with this young girl. To help include every child no matter what, the camp started each session for the rest of the week the same way but without any flashing lights.
I experienced this myself and it made me more cautious of photosensitive epilepsy and epilepsy as a whole. That is why I'm running for the Danny Did Foundation. To help raise awareness (and learn more) about Epilepsy and SUDEP.

About Danny Did Foundation
Founded by Chicago parents Mike and Mariann Stanton in 2010 after the sudden death of their four-year-old son Danny, the Danny Did Foundation’s primary mission is to prevent deaths caused by seizures. The Foundation advances public awareness of epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), strives to improve communication about SUDEP between medical professionals and families affected by seizures, and advocates for the mainstream acceptance and use of seizure detection and prediction devices that may assist in preventing seizure-related deaths.
Epilepsy affects 3.4 million people in the United States and 65 million people worldwide. One in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy during their lifetime. But what few people understand, including many people with epilepsy, is that seizures can be fatal. More people die as a result of seizures than from fires and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) combined. In addition to deaths caused by drowning, other accidents, and status epilepticus (prolonged seizures), thousands of deaths occur annually from SUDEP, a fact that is little known and too rarely addressed by medical professionals and in public discussions of epilepsy.
The Danny Did Foundation takes it's name from the last line of Danny Stanton’s obituary, written by his dad: “Please go and enjoy your life. Danny did.” We celebrate Danny’s spirit in every child and family we reach.
