Baltimore WALK to End Hydrocephalus

Balanced Brains

Welcome to our Team Page!

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.

  • Walk with us: Join our in-person team and experience the power of community.
  • Donate: Every dollar brings us closer to a cure and improved quality of life for hydrocephalus patients.

Thank you!
