Over the past number of years, Fiona and I have been running marathons for the Danny Did Foundation - a great family, foundation and cause that we care deeply about. This year, I have upped the ante and will be running both the Berlin Marathon in late September and the Chicago Marathon two weeks later. As I put in my long training runs, I often think of Danny and the Foundation's mantra, "Please go and enjoy your life. Danny did." These thoughts pull me through the tough sections of the training runs and reminds me daily to live life to its fullest.
I hope that you will help support me and 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 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."
