Welcome to Gina's WALK Fundraising Page
Gemma has endured nine brain surgeries due to a condition called hydrocephalus. Born at 28-weeks, Gemma was born very tiny and sick, and as a result suffered a brain bleed. This brain injury ultimately led to the condition known as hydrocephalus, for which there is NO cure and something she will have to deal with her entire life. It is a constant source of worry for our family --- all because of hydrocephalus and the faulty nature of the devices that manage this condition.
A shunt is not a cure as its consistent failures lead to multiple brain surgeries over a patient’s lifetime, in some cases 100 or more. This is unacceptable and this is why, as Team G-Force, we have raised close to $60,000 in the past seven years to help support the Hydrocephalus Association. We have made this a family tradition and passion to support this wonderful organization, year after year, and we hope you will too.
Thank you!
