State Rep. John D’Amico joined local families in support of childhood epilepsy research at a fundraiser for the Danny Did Foundation last week at the Gale Street Inn.

“Our ability to respond to tragedy by banding together is one of the great strengths of our community, and the Danny Did Foundation exemplifies this spirit,” D’Amico said. “I’m privileged to have been a part of this event, and I commend Danny Did for their efforts in going above and beyond to help children with epilepsy.”

The Danny Did Foundation was founded by Mike and Mariann Stanton after the unexpected death of their 4-year-old child, Danny. The Foundation raises awareness about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and raises funds to help families with children suffering from epilepsy. “A Toast to Danny” fundraiser celebrated Danny’s life and collected donations for Danny Did.

“Rep. D’Amico is true example of someone who cares about the people he represents,” said Mike Stanton, father of Danny Stanton and the co-founder of the Danny Did Foundation. “He attends events, he gets to know our mission, and he is always available when we need a champion in public office. He’s been an unwavering support system for Danny Did.”
