Welcome to our Team Avery's Page!

Team Avery has been fundraising for Hydrocephalus Association since 2009.  Please join our team again and help us to end hydrocephalus. This event is very dear to our hearts as our daughter Avery was born with hydrocephalus. We are walking on behalf of her and those who are living with hydrocephalus and the constant fear that another brain surgery is around the corner. As you may know, hydrocephalus is a life-altering, life-threatening condition, caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), resulting in pressure on the brain. The most common treatment for this condition is brain surgery to implant a medical device called a shunt. Sadly, a shunt is not a cure, as device failures are very common and lead to multiple brain surgeries over a patient’s lifetime, in some cases 100 or more. This is unacceptable and this is WHY WE WALK. 

Thank you for helping Avery and her twin Teagan reach their goals. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will go far in helping us find a cure and improve the lives of people living with hydrocephalus.

We can not thank you enough!
