Who We Are

Founded by Chicagoans Mike and Mariann Stanton after the Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) of their son Danny just before his fifth birthday. We are dedicated in our mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures. The foundation is named after the last line of Danny's obituary, written by his dad:

Please go and enjoy your life. Danny did.

Danny’s example to all of us was that Danny Did take his time in life, Danny Did engage others in his life, and Danny Did enjoy his life. Danny Did, and we can –and will– through time, people, and passion succeed in our mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures.

Our Mission

To advance public awareness of epilepsy and the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), to protect people with epilepsy, and to prevent deaths caused by seizures.

Icon Our Vision@2x

Our Vision

We want a reality in which healthcare providers proactively communicate about the risk of SUDEP and other forms of mortality associated with epilepsy. We need to elevate awareness of, and access to, technologies that enable early intervention and added safety.

Our Commitment

Danny Did is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in the way that we operate, and in the families and communities that we serve.

Words cannot express our gratitude for the grant you’ve given us for a seizure monitor for our 2-year-old son. We appreciate your work, kindness, and dedication to other parents and children dealing with epilepsy. I’ve already had a discussion with our neurologist and nurse practitioner about the amazing work your foundation is doing and how seizure monitors can get kids back in their own beds safely. You have helped us feel less alone and the Emfit monitor will bring our entire family peace. Thank you for making such a huge impact for us and other families. I will be looking forward to finding ways to get involved with your cause. Please know how grateful we are. READ MORE
