Hello, my name is Alex Rich. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page to support The Danny Did Foundation in the 2018 Chicago Marathon.
This is my first marathon, and I could not be more thrilled to be running for such an amazing foundation. When I met my wife and first visited her in Chicago, I was introduced to Danny Did. My wife grew up on the same block as the Stanton family, and whenever I would go for a run around the neighborhood I would see "Danny Did" bumper stickers on almost every car in the neighborhood and the honorary street sign. When I asked my wife what the Danny Did Foundation was, she explained that Danny Stanton, the son of Mike and Mariann, passed away suddenly in 2009 and his parents setup a foundation to raise awareness of epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). She said that Danny was a not to be underestimated 4-year old, had a captivating smile and demanding presence, especially when surrounded by all the neighborhood kids. A testament to the Stanton family, she said Danny possessed an unmatched kindness.
It has always been on my bucket list to run a marathon, yet in the past, the concept for why I was running was usually for myself. After watching the 2017 Chicago Marathon, I knew I had to sign up for the 2018 Chicago Marathon. When registration opened up, the thought in my head was not that I was going to run for myself but who I was going to run for. This was quickly answered when my mother-in-law sent me a link on Facebook to register to run with Team Danny Did. I went home and registered. I could not be more honored to run with a group of people in support of an amazing cause, dedicated to an extraordinary boy.
Please see the link below to learn more information regarding the mission of the Danny Did Foundation.
Again, thank you for getting involved. Your support is greatly appreciated! We look forward to seeing everyone out there on RACE DAY!!
