Danielle Byron Henry was a joyful child with a wonderful sense of humor. She was caring, generous, and truly a light in our lives. However, when she began experiencing abdominal migraine attacks at the age of 8, she fought hard to prevent the disease from stealing her childhood. She worked diligently to stay in school and keep up with her three varsity sports. Despite her parents' efforts to explore every medical option available at the time, they were devastated when she died by suicide three weeks before her 18th birthday.

In the 15 years following her passing, her father, a family practitioner, dedicated himself to studying and treating headache disorders until he became an expert in the field. Frustrated by the limited number of providers who treat migraine disease and the general lack of public awareness and support for those suffering from it, her family decided that Danielle's life and struggle should inspire a commitment to make a difference in the fight against migraine. In essence, they aimed to "Shine Her Light."
