Join Our Team and Walk to End Hydrocephalus for Juniper!

Please join our team and WALK with us to end hydrocephalus for Juniper and others like her. This event is very dear to our hearts as we are walking on behalf of those who are living with hydrocephalus and the constant fear that another brain surgery is around the corner. Juniper is a one year old warrior who has faced numerous challenges since birth. She underwent three brain surgeries before her first birthday to treat hydrocephalus, a life-altering and life-threatening condition caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), resulting in pressure on the brain. Despite these challenges, Juniper remains a beacon of joy, resilience, and hope.

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 and this is WHY WE WALK.

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.

Thank you for your support!
