Fiona Eichten is running the Boston Marathon in support of Danny Did. Your gift will fund life-changing seizure detection devices for families in need.

Dear Family & Friends,

Qualifying for the 2017 Boston Marathon is probably one of the hardest things I've ever done but through hard work and dedication, not to mention sweat and tears, I got it done. Through their own tears of grief and the pain of losing little Danny, the same hard work and dedication by the Stanton Family to raise awareness of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy ( SUDEP) and provide seizure detection devices are the pillars of the Danny Did Foundation.

My goal of $3,000 is ambitious but priceless to the families who will benefit from the Emfit monitors the Foundation provides for seizure detection and to assist in the Foundation's mission to educate and raise awareness of SUDEP.

No amount is too small, every penny counts towards saving a life. My heartfelt gratitude.

~ Fiona

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 impacted 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 nearly 3 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 impacted by the disorder, is that seizures can be fatal. More people die as a result of seizures than from fires and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) combined. The causes of death can vary and include drowning, other accidents and status epilepticus (prolonged seizures). In addition, thousands of deaths occur annually from SUDEP, a fact that is little known and too rarely addressed in public and in medical circles. The name of the Danny Did Foundation originates from the last line of Danny Stanton's obituary, written by his dad: "Please go and enjoy your life. Danny did."
