Featured Charity 8/21: Danny Did Foundation

Bouts, Charity, Events, Organizations » Posted August 18th, 2010 by

A portion of the proceeds from our next bout will be donated to the Danny Did Foundation.

The Danny Did Foundation was created in the spirit of 4 year-old Danny Stanton, who died in December following a seizure in his sleep. The Foundation's mission is to prevent deaths caused by seizures.

More than 3 million people face the challenges of epilepsy in the U.S., and more than 50,000 lose their lives annually as the result of a seizure. The Danny Did Foundation works to mainstream medical devices for home-use that act as alarm systems for seizure activity; to raise awareness of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy, or SUDEP; and to improve communication between medical professionals and the families of those afflicted by seizures.

This work is driven by the way that Danny lived his life: Danny Did take his time in life. Danny Did engage others in his life. Danny Did enjoy his life. To learn more, please visit www.dannydid.org, or search "Danny Did" on Facebook.
