Join me as I WALK to End Hydrocephalus! As you may know, Hydrocephalus is a life altering, life threatening condition, caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid, resulting in pressure on the brain.
The ONLY treatment for this condition is Brain Surgery; with either an implantation of a Shunt and/or an alternative procedure called an Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV).
I, myself have had 22 Brain Surgeries- a VP shunt, several shunt revisions, the ETV and ETV revisions with additional pathways. I have been ShuntFREE since December 27, 2002. My last ETV revision was April 20, 2015, due to continuous scar tissue building up. Hydrocephalus Is Unpredictable!

There is currently NO CURE for Hydrocephalus.
This is WHY I WALK and also why I need your support. Please donate and help me reach my goal. Any size donation is greatly appreciated and will go far in helping us find Better Alternatives other than Brain Surgery to Improve the Lives of people Living with Hydrocephalus.
Thank you!
