Welcome to My Personal WALK Fundraising Page
Support me as I once again WALK to End Hydrocephalus! 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.
Many of you have followed Aric’s surgeries through the years..so far he has had 23! His current shunt has been in place for less than a year. He currently has an infected piece of shunt in his brain. We live each day not knowing when the next brain surgery may be needed. Aric also suffers from several chronic medical conditions and short term memory loss and severe anxiety and restlessness related to the multiple brain surgeries and the brain bleed in October.
A shunt is not a cure, as many patients endure multiple brain surgeries throughout their lifetime, some more than 100. Imagine life knowing that the next brain surgery lurks around the corner because your shunt could fail at any moment. No one should have to live like this.
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.
Thank you!
