Walk with Us to End Hydrocephalus
This walk is deeply personal to us. We’re walking for everyone living with hydrocephalus, facing the constant fear of another life-threatening brain surgery.
What is Hydrocephalus?
As you may know, hydrocephalus is a life-altering, life-threatening condition, caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebral spinal 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. This is unacceptable.
Why We Walk
We walk to raise awareness, fund critical research, and provide support to the hydrocephalus community. Your participation, whether in person or virtually, makes a tangible difference.
Join Our Team Today!
Together, we can create a future where hydrocephalus is no longer a life-threatening condition.
