Dear Friends,
Epilepsy has deeply impacted me, including my Mom and many other loved ones. This cause is very near and dear to my heart as I have had seizures since I was 13-years old. I am proud to say it's been over 17-months now since my last seizure, which I ended up needing 2 surgeries for.
But I am keeping a positive attitude. It's an invisible disability that affects millions, and it's time we stand together.
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 Foundations 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.
You can make a difference today.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to a cure and provides hope to the millions living with epilepsy and seizures.
Please join me in this mission of making a donation. It's quick, easy, and will go a long way in improving lives. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for everyone.
Thank you for your generosity and support!
