Welcome to Jett's HA Walk Fundraising Page
Thanks for visiting Team Jett’s fundraising page!
This is our family’s third year participating in the Hydrocephalus Association WALK OC in support of our mighty little hydro warrior, Jett! We walk to find a cure, a treatment that doesn’t require brain surgery, and access to treatment for everyone with hydrocephalus!
Join Team Jett for our family's 3rd annual Walk to End Hydrocephalus! This year's walk is in person in Huntington Beach. Here's how to get involved whether near or far:
Donate to our Team Jett Campaign
Join us in person for the WALK on Saturday, October 15 - it's FREE! event details below
Spread awareness of hydrocephalus on social media - post your "walk" activity to social media and include, "I'm (__your activity__) for a cure! #TeamJett #hydrostrong #hydrocephalus."
WALK participants and those who donate $45 will receive a free Team Jett t-shirt courtesy of T Shirts and More and the Padilla family if you sign up by Friday, September 30, and email your t-shirt size to cesarandsylvie@gmail.com.
Did you know September is Hydrocephalus Awareness month? Hydrocephalus is a life-altering condition caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in pressure on the brain. If left untreated, it can be fatal. The most common treatment for this condition is brain surgery to implant a VP Shunt device. A shunt is not a cure, as many patients endure multiple brain surgeries throughout their lifetime, some more than 100. We are grateful that Jett has only had one brain surgery at 3 days old and has remained without complications. He is a mighty hydro warrior! The WALK to End Hydrocephalus is the Hydrocephalus Association's largest annual fundraising event, raising critical funds for research, advocacy, support, and education. When you participate in a WALK to End Hydrocephalus, you join more than 1 million Americans and their families who want to change the future of hydrocephalus!
This is WHY WE WALK and also why we need your support. Please donate and help us reach our goal of $5,000 by November 1 (donations can be made through December 31). Don't forget about employee matching programs! $20 donation turns into $40 using an available employee match program. Funds raised go to the Hydrocephalus Association to continue its investments in research so we can find a cure for hydrocephalus and better treatment options! The money we raise through the WALK also helps them provide free support and education services to the over 1 million Americans living with hydrocephalus!
