In October of 2023, our six-year-old son Quinn suffered his third complex febrile seizure. Just like he did after his first two seizures, Quinn fully recovered. We feel fortunate, every day, to have our “Quinny” at full speed as he lives life to the fullest. Since Quinn’s first seizure in 2019, we constantly worry about him, and we feel deep empathy for parents of children who have been diagnosed with epilepsy. Raising money for the Danny Did Foundation is our way to help other parents. Since 2010, the Danny Did foundation has supported more than 3,000 people with seizure alerting devices. The Stanton family’s motivation for starting the Danny Did Foundation is to help people with epilepsy enjoy full lives, filled with opportunities. That’s the promise they made to Danny and to every family they meet. We promise to give our all during the Chicago Marathon to help support as many families as possible. We will run for Danny, for Quinn and for the 65 million people worldwide who are affected by 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.
