Welcome to Chillaxin' Jaxon's Team Page!

Please join our team and WALK with us to End Hydrocephalus!  This event is very dear to our hearts as we are walking on behalf of our loved one Jaxon, who is living with hydrocephalus and the constant fear that his shunt could fail at any moment. 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 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 WE WALK. Please join our team, 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.

Thank you!

Support me as I WALK to End Hydrocephalus! Jaxon reached his 3rd Shuntiversary on Dec. 11th, but we still fear every day that he will have a failure. He has already had multiple MRI's as a result of a common virus that had symptoms that mirrored a failure.

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 like Jaxon. We Walk For Jaxon!

Thank you!
