 | My Message
|  |
 |
Danny Stanton came into my life in the Spring of 2012. A beautiful, blue-eyed boy staring out at me from a computer screen, imploring me to do all in my power to raise awareness for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). One year later, a thousand Northwestern students were Dancing for Danny. And if you can dance for 30 hours, running 26.2 miles shouldn't be too bad. Right?
Danny, his story, his family have always inspired me to challenge myself, to find strength within myself and my community, and to take advantage of life's blessings - in this case good health, strong bones, and a solid pair of running shoes. I am more than honored to use those blessings to contribute to such an incredible cause.
So yes, I'm running a marathon. Running for Danny, enjoying my life - because that's what Danny Did.
Whether you donate, come cheer on the team this fall, or just learn something new about Epilepsy, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

About my cause:
|
Founded by Chicagoans Mike and Mariann Stanton in January 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 is dedicated to advancing public awareness of epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), enhancing the SUDEP communication model between medical professionals and families impacted by seizures, and gaining 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. 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.”
Our 2015 Team raised over $60k last year and those funds were used to help place seizure detection devices in homes across the country. These devices alarm a caregiver during a seizure which can reduce the safety risks often associated with seizures. Parents appreciate this peace of mind and are thankful for the chance to address a seizure and keep their loved ones safe. We plan to beat that team fundraising number in 2016, and we hope you will be part of reaching this goal. Thank you for your support! To learn more, please visit www.dannydid.org.
