Danny Did Foundation

Danny Did advances awareness of epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), works to improve communication about the risk of SUDEP between doctors and families, and educates caregiver about devices & technologies that can alert to seizures. Founded by Chicagoans Mike and Mariann Stanton in January 2010 after the death of their four-year-old son Danny, the Danny Did Foundation works toward its mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures with these main goals in mind: advancing public awareness of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), enhancing the SUDEP communication model between medical professionals and families afflicted by seizures, and the mainstreaming of seizure detection and prediction devices that may assist in preventing seizure-related deaths.
