The 6th Annual Epilepsy Awareness and Education EXPO brought 3400 registered guests, including 120 exhibitors and over 100 Epilepsy professionals to speak to families and educate the community.
On Nov. 7th, the 6th of 2018 Annual Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland filled the park with our “Sea of Purple” T shirts. We sat over 400 guests in our morning group photo at the castle, and we filled the Mark Twain Riverboat with our supporters for the afternoon group shot!

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. We view these devices as complimentary to medicinal, surgical and dietary measures that are used to treat seizures.
