Welcome Ashtyn's Brain Drain Brigade!

Please join our team and WALK (in person or virtually) with us to end hydrocephalus. This event is very dear to our hearts as we are walking on behalf of Ashtyn Leigh and the hundreds of others who are 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 very common and lead to multiple brain surgeries over a patient’s lifetime, in some cases 100 or more. At this point, Ashtyn has had 10 brain surgeries in her 5 1/2 years of life. 

This is UNACCEPTABLE and this is WHY WE WALK. 

Join our team WALK or join virtually and donate to help us reach our goal. We have set a goal for each of us 4 to fundraise $250 for a total goal of $1,000. I have no doubt that we can reach, even exceed, our goal with the help of our friends, family, and community. 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!
Ashtyn, Lisa, Ashley, & Zephyn
