thank you for helping wrenleys warriors in our journey!
I've started this fundraiser in support of my daughter who was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at her 20 week growth scan. She is doing very well Since her shunt was placed! She has been in vision and physical therapy to help with her development the last few months and was recently diagnosed with cerebral vision impairment (CVI). I started this fundraiser to be able to raise money to help find a permeant cure for hydrocephalus for all in the future.
Support us as we WALK to End Hydrocephalus! As you may know, hydrocephalus is a life altering, life threatening condition, caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in pressure on the brain. The most common treatment for this condition is brain surgery to implant a medical device called a shunt, which has a 50% failure rate in children within the first two years.
A shunt is not a cure, as many patients endure multiple brain surgeries throughout their lifetime, some more than 100. Imagine life knowing that the next brain surgery lurks around the corner because your shunt could fail at any moment. No one should have to live like this.
This is WHY I WALK and also why I need your support. Please donate and help me reach my goal. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will go far in helping us find a cure and improve the lives of people living with hydrocephalus.
Thank you!
