Catch the Wave
The wave is partners, parents, siblings and extended family members. The wave is friends, health professionals and people living with hydrocephalus joining together to build community and awareness. We do this one city, one county, one state and one person at a time.
This year, become a part of the Wave of Awareness that is rapidly building momentum across the country. Ask one friend who has never heard of hydrocephalus to join us.
WALK 2010
Why the Wave?
• Hydrocephalus is still the number one reason for brain surgery among children.
• Every 15 minutes, another shunt surgery is performed.
• 1 to 2 in every 1,000 children born this year will live a lifetime with hydrocephalus.
• Close to 5% of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s actually have hydrocephalus
Your time, support, funds and love will help us provide support, education, and advocacy; and further the effort to create innovative research for a cure for hydrocephalus.
Special thanks to our national sponsors for their generous support of the 2010 WALK events.
