Danielle Byron Henry was a happy go lucky child with a wonderful sense of humor, caring, generous and truly a light in our lives. When the migraines struck at age 10, she fought hard to keep migraine disease from taking her childhood, fought to stay in school and keep up with her 3 varsity sports. Her parents tried every medical option there was at the time, with no success and were devastated when we lost her. For the next 15 years her father, a family practitioner, began to study & treat headache disease until he became an expert in the field. Frustrated with the small number of providers who treat migraine disease and the lack of public awareness and support for those with migraine, her family decided that Danielle was meant to send us on a path to to make a difference in this fight, in essence to Shine Her Light.

Danielle Byron Henry Migraine Foundation was founded by Dan Henry, M.D., his wife, Diane, and their daughter, Elizabeth Henry Weyher, in honor of their daughter and sister, Danielle, who battled with migraine disease for almost 10 years until her death in 1999 at age 17.
