Welcome to My WALK Fundraising Page
Why do I WALK?
My oldest son Bryson was born with hydrocephalus and it has caused so many uncertainties and scares in our lives. Not knowing when the next shunt revision surgery will be (he has already had 2 brain surgeries before the age of 3), to the delays that he faces due to this condition. I appreciate any support you can give whether it is any amount of donation or even joining our team.
I believe no infant, child, or adult should live in constant fear of needing yet another brain surgery.
I believe that every person who joins the fight against hydrocephalus can have a lasting impact in the lives of every person diagnosed, today and in the future.
I believe that every dollar we raise for research will have a ripple effect and could be THE dollar that changes everything for a family affected by hydrocephalus.
As you may know, anyone at any age can develop hydrocephalus, a life-altering, life-threatening condition caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal 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.
