$3,284 towards $1,500

As many of you may know, our daughter Anna was diagnosed with a form of Epilepsy in the Spring of 2020. The Danny Did Foundation has provided a wealth of information and support since her diagnosis. We are grateful to the foundation and want to give back while also supporting Epilepsy Awareness.

Last year, we were able to raise over $4,000 thanks to generous donations from friends, family and colleagues. I ask that you please join me in supporting The Danny Did Foundation by donating once again towards my Chicago Marathon goal. Just a small donation will go a long way as I run for Anna and for Epilepsy.

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.
