As many of you know, my nephew Danny Stanton passed away in 2010. He was just four years old. There are no words to explain the sadness, bewilderment and grief that his passing left in our hearts. Since then, the Danny Did Foundation has been working tirelessly to prevent deaths caused by seizures. Their efforts are not only extraordinary but they are also inspiring. They have helped countless people all over the world. As a small piece of gratitude and to honor my buddy Danny, I will be running the 2024 Chicago Marathon.
I know that times are tough and money is tight- but any amount will help. Thank you for considering a donation to support my 26.2 mile Chicago Marathon run dedicated to those facing 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. 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.
