Founded by Chicagoans Mike and Mariann Stanton after the Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) of their son Danny just before his fifth birthday, the Danny Did Foundation is dedicated in its mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures. The name of the foundation comes from the last line of Danny's obituary, written by his dad: Please go and enjoy your life. Danny did.

Read Our Mission Statement

Seizure First Aid

1
Note the time the seizure begins.
2
Protect the person seizing by clearing their surroundings and gently cushion the person's head.
3
Roll the person on their side, ensure their airway is clear and loosen tight neckwear.
4
Stay calm. You can't stop the seizure.
5
If the seizure persists for more than 5 minutes, or if you're concerned for the person's safety, call 9-1-1.
