Faith Miller
My name is Faith Miller. I am almost 3 years old, and I was born with Hydrocephalus. Because of my hydrocephalus I suffer from epilepsy, cerebral palsy and global developmental delay. I have been receiving physical therapy since I was 3 months old and speech therapy since I was 18 months old. Even though I am considered global developmentally delayed, I am working really hard. My plan is to finish this walk with the assistance of my mom and dad. I hope you can join my team and watch me WALK across the finish line with the help of my parents!
My goal is to find a cure to prevent another child from having to go through another surgery and suffer the long-term effects of Hydrocephalus like me!
(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.)
Join our team in person, join virtually and donate to 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.
