New Orleans Walk for Hydrocephalus

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.
