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.

Videos

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.

Danny Did Device Program

Because of the Danny Did Grant Program, we have been able to help many families who need cost reduction of seizure detection and seizure prediction devices - as well as other technologies - that are designed to enable intervention by a caregiver.

Hogan Family, Halifax, PA

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
