Join the Fight
Every day, individuals and families living with hydrocephalus face a lifelong and often unpredictable journey. More than 1 million people in the U.S. are affected, yet awareness and research funding remain critically low.
The Hydrocephalus Association is working to change that by advancing research, supporting patients and caregivers, and advocating for better treatments and outcomes.
By starting or joining a fundraiser, you help fuel progress, provide hope, and ensure no one faces hydrocephalus alone. Whether you walk, run, celebrate a milestone, or honor a loved one, your impact makes a difference.
There are many ways to get involved:
- Join one of HA’s Endurance events - half-or full marathons, bike rides, etc.
- Create a DIY Fundraiser in support of your WALK to End Hydrocephalus Walk Team.
- Create your own Fundraiser to support our shared mission to cure and support.
Together, we can create meaningful change.
Start a Fundraiser
HA Endurance Team
If you’re looking for a way to get active and support our mission, consider running in an endurance event for the Hydrocephalus Association! This is a fantastic opportunity to raise funds for research and patient programs while staying active and running for a cause.
Games4Brains
Similar to running a 5K, where participants raise money leading up to the event and then complete the race, Games4Brains lets you fundraise through play! Whether it’s video games, board games, tabletop games, or more, you can participate any day of the year.
DIY WALK Fundraisers
Create a fundraiser to raise money toward your personal WALK goal—whether it’s a walk in your neighborhood, a team challenge, or a creative event that gets people moving. Every step and every dollar brings us closer to a world without hydrocephalus. And funds raised can be credited to your WALK Team!
