About the Danny Did Foundation

Founded in January 2010 by Mike and Mariann Stanton after the Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) of their four-year-old son Danny, the Danny Did Foundation is dedicated in its mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures. With more than three million people facing the challenges of epilepsy in the U.S. — and more than 50 million people affected by epilepsy worldwide — the issue of aggressively addressing SUDEP is as urgent as it is logical.

The Danny Did Foundation holds as its main goals: (1) advancing awareness of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and enhancing the SUDEP communication model between medical professionals and those afflicted by seizures, and (2) the mainstreaming of seizure detection and prediction devices as well as other technologies that may assist in preventing deaths caused by seizures.

To achieve these goals, the Danny Did Foundation engages physicians and researchers in the fields of neurology and epileptology, meets with medical technology companies, and consults with epilepsy organizations.

The Danny Did Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation organized in the state of Illinois and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
