Hello Friends!
Mike and I are headed back to Chicago in October to run our 4th marathon for the Danny Did Foundation, for a cause that is so close to our hearts. As some of you know, our youngest son Quinn had three complex febrile seizures during his first five years of life. All of Quinn’s seizures were terrifying for us as parents. We are blessed to say Quinn is a healthy vibrant 8 year old living life to the fullest every day. We are running the Chicago Marathon for the Danny Did Foundation, whose mission is to raise awareness about Epilepsy and SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in Epilepsy) On October 11th, 2026 we will run 26.2 miles for Quinn and the 65 million people worldwide living with 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.
