Please contact Mary Duffy at mduffy@dannydid.org with any questions about participating in the 2013 Bank of American Chicago Marathon to benefit the Danny Did Foundation. We want to have you as a part of Team Danny Did!
From 2012 Chicago Marathon Team Danny Did runner Lisa Verdon: “Being a part of Team Danny Did last year was an amazing experience! I met so many new people (and still talk with) we all had a common goal: to get the word out about epilepsy and SUDEP. Team Danny got me thru those long runs, when I didn’t think I could get to 20 miles, I looked at my blue wrist band that says “Danny Did” and I kept running. When it was time to run the big 26.2, I was relieved to see my teammates and supporters of the Danny Did Foundation out there along the route giving me thumbs up, supporting me when i needed it most…all knowing that we have a common bond: Danny. Running my first marathon for the Danny Did Foundation was special knowing I was running and raising funds for those kids and their families affected by epilepsy. PLEASE consider running for Danny and being a member of Team Danny Did. I promise you, you will not regret it.“
