Dear Team Captains,

Thank you for leading your team to become the #1 fundraiser! Click on the "Start Fundraising" button above to create your team's personal page. You can customize your page by edit the paragraph and add photos if you would like. Please set your minimum goal to $4000 and then ask your co-workers and friends to support your Danny Did Foundation fundraiser. Remember to encourage your donors to request the company match too!

Your support will help increase awareness about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy and provide resources such as seizure detection devices to families in need. These devices will alert a parent/caregiver when their child is having a seizure so that can come to their aid. These devices bring peace of mind and safety into their homes.

Thank you,

Kevin Cohen & Nathan Wysocki

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. Danny Did Foundation takes its 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.
