Please support my 26.2 miles to protect kids with epilepsy
I ran my first and only other marathon back in 2001, back when I had youth on my side. This time around, I'm honored to be running in support of a foundation, a cause and a family that has shown me and my family what strength and perseverance truly mean. While I don't have youthful spirit getting me through, I will have on my side the strength of this group, the personal strength I have gained, and the love that surrounds my heart in knowing the Stanton family. I didn't have the privilege of knowing Danny, but if he's anything like the rest of his family, he was one amazing little boy! #19!
I run for Danny and for the Stanton Family. If I can help save one child, or prevent one family from suffering the loss of a child, I will. One mile and one dollar at a time.
Please help me in raising money and awareness for the Danny Did Foundation. Any amount would help make a difference in the life of a child or family suffering from seizures.
Thank you so much for your generosity!

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 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 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."
