Danny Did Foundation is proud to be an official charity affiliate of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon for the second consecutive year. As a BOA 2012 Chicago Marathon partner, Team Danny Did engages people of all shapes and sizes who, through their participation in the race, are dedicated to raising a minimum of $1,000 to enable our foundation to continue its mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures.
