Family and Friends,
I am running and raising money for the Danny Did Foundation to honor and show support for my younger brother Christian Burkhart. Christian has battled epilepsy for the majority of his life. Epilepsy brings daily challenges and uncertainty. Christian has shown resiliency, strength, and toughness as he has progressed through years of his life.
We are raising funds to help other kids with epilepsy cover medical treatment, research, and other essential supports.
Thank you for considering a donation to support my 26.2 mile Chicago Marathon run dedicated to those facing epilepsy. The race will take place on Sunday, October 12th. Your kindness means more than words can express. Whether you can donate or simply share this page, you’ll be making a real difference in his journey.
Below is more information on the Danny Did Foundation.

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.
