This fundraiser to help find a cure for hydrocephalitis (also known as water on the brain) takes place at Slidell's Heritage Park at 8:30 am on Saturday, September 23. No fee to join the team. Raise $75 and get a Tshirt. Wear your Rotary shirt! 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 WHY WE WALK. Let Mark Ricard know if you want to participate. 504-606-0519 |
