Jack Fraser's Team WALK Page!
Hi Everyone!
Please support our son Jack and many others as we WALK to end Hydrocephalus! As many of you know, hydrocephalus is a 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. Many patients endure multiple brain surgeries throughout their lifetime.
Jack has had four brain surgeries, but none during the past 2 years! He still has a shunt (probably will for life) and will have to undergo another related surgery in a few years.
This is why we WALK and also why we need your support. Jack is thriving because of the Hydrocephalus Association. Please donate and help us reach our 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.
Better yet, register for the Omaha WALK on October 6th and walk with us. Jack would love to have you walking beside him and knowing you support him on this life long journey!
Here is the link for the walk. You may also donate at this link directly if you would rather not donate via Facebook.
