Welcome to Team HydroHillis!

Team HydroHillis is committed to raising $5,000 so that the HA can continue the work they are doing to find a cure! We hope that one day Hillis can live shunt free!

Hillis was born with hydrocephalus and had brain surgery 1 week after he was born. Hillis has had 2 brain surgeries in his short little life! Currently, he is doing well and living his best life! He is a very happy curious baby! We need your help for us to reach our goal. Please donate and join our team today!

Please join our team and WALK to end hydrocephalus on Saturday, October 26th at Elva Rouse Park. This event is very dear to our hearts as we are walking on behalf of those living with hydrocephalus and the constant fear that another brain surgery is around the corner. 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 widespread, common and lead to multiple brain surgeries over a patient’s lifetime, in some cases 100 or more. This is unacceptable and this is WHY WE WALK. 

Thank you!
