On October 12th Cara and I will be running the Chicago Marathon to support the Danny Did Foundation and it's primary mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures. In October, 2023 our son, Quinn had his third complex febrile seizure. We feel blessed to say today that he is happy, healthy and about to start second grade. Although he has been seizure free for almost two years, he is monitored at night with a seizure detection monitor. Danny Did has provided over 3,000 grants for devices like Quinn's over the last 15 years for families that need assistance. We promise to give our all during The Chicago Marathon to help support as many families as possible. We will run for Quinn, for Danny 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 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.
