I am running a Marathon in support of the Danny Did Foundation. Your gift will help protect kids with Epilepsy.

I'm asking you to help support me as I run 26.2 miles for those suffering with seizures.

We are no longer accepting donations on this campaign, but there are other ways for you to support us today!

$200 towards $1,250

OK, folks, you know I don't reach out for fundraising dollars very often but this one hits home. My adoptive mother, Vivian, suffered from severe epilepsy and throughout my childhood I witnessed many difficult episodes. As a parent, I cannot imagine what it would be like to watch your child experience seizures like this. For this reason, I have chosen to run 26.2 miles for Team Danny Did.

Founded by Chicagoans Mike and Mariann Stanton in January 2010 after the death of their four-year-old son Danny, the Danny Did Foundation works toward its mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures with these main goals in mind: advancing public awareness of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), enhancing the SUDEP communication model between medical professionals and families afflicted by seizures, and the mainstreaming of seizure detection and prediction devices that may assist in preventing seizure-related deaths.

If you are fortunate enough to have a little extra this year, would you please consider clicking on the link and sponsoring me as I run for a great cause. "Please go and enjoy your life. Danny did."

Thank you,

John
