As many of you know, running has quickly become a passion of mine over the past couple of years. With a little push and a lot of support from some amazing friends and inspiring runners and coaches at Nike Running Club, I am lacing up my shoes and running my first ever marathon on October 9, 2016--the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
The list of charities to support is lengthy, and it’s difficult to choose from all the worthy causes. But this charity--The Danny Did Foundation--stood out for many reasons. Just one glance at little Danny’s smile had me hooked. And when I read Danny’s story, I knew in my heart that I’d run for him.
The Danny Did Foundation works tirelessly 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.
The Foundation’s name comes from the last line of Danny’s obituary written by his dad: “Please go and enjoy your life. Danny did.” What better way to celebrate the spirit of Danny Stanton by going out there and running 26.2 miles? Running for Danny. Enjoying my life. That’s what Danny did.
Please help me reach my goal of $1,000 by October 9th! Any amount, no matter how small, will go a long way! Let’s do this!

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.
