Orange County Hydrocephalus Walk
Rosary alumna, Erin (Wilson) Berger '05 and her husband are co-chairing the first Orange County Hydrocephalus Walk on
Saturday, October 12
, in an effort to build awareness and support for hydrocephalus research. This event is very dear to their hearts as they are walking with their son Seamus (Shea) who is living with hydrocephalus.
Join us
as we walk to End Hydrocephalus! Create a walking team to show your support or join team "Surf 4 Shea". Hydrocephalus is a life altering, life threatening condition, caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in pressure on the brain. The most common treatment for this condition is brain surgery to implant a medical device called a shunt, which has a 50% failure rate in children within the first two years. A shunt is not a cure, as many patients endure multiple brain surgeries throughout their lifetime, some more than 100.
Saturday, October 12
Huntington Beach, CA
Check-In: 8:30 a.m.
Walk Begins: 9:30 a.m.
