Katrina Maglaya-Volkers's Fundraiser
I am running the Chicago Marathon in support of the Danny Did Foundation. Your gift will help protect kids with Epilepsy.
Please consider supporting my 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!
It is such an honor to be a part of Team Danny Did for a 3rd year. My goal is bigger this year because it is not for me, it is to help children with epilepsy and their families receive life saving devices and to help spread education and awareness about the dangers of SUDEP. Every donation towards my goal will be used to help The Danny Did Foundation achieve its mission. Thank you for your support.
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.
