Sharing our friends post and beautiful hydrocephalus fighters photo:  "Friends, can I ask that you help us reach $3000 before Saturday? If 26 of my friends donated $1.00 we would make it!  Our goal this year is to completely surpass last years raised amount of $5000 and it takes a large community to help with that. Even if you are not joining us for the walk, you can make a donation at the link below :) At 5 years of age, Willow has endured 14 brain surgeries. Her shunt can fail at any time and that requires new surgeries. There are research projects out there that need to be funded to support a treatment and future CURE so she does not need surgeries any longer.  http://active.com/donate/phfwalkmi2016 Sent from my iPhone

** YOUR DONATION DOLLARS AT WORK ** RESEARCH MATTERS!! It's a great accomplishment to be sure as the PHF has funded HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars in research projects since our inception in 2009. One of our top recipients is Boston Children's Hospital with the team of Dr. Warf, Dr. Madsen & Dr. Lehtinen. One specific Research Project has seen tremendous success and now hits the street for clinical trials!!! Seeing this project go from a sketch drawing three years ago, to a presentation slide two years ago, and just this past April, holding the prototype in my hand, to it now being in the clinical phase brings joy to my heart and tears in my eye!! It's what we said we would do from DAY ONE and we're doing it! Here is a picture with Dr. Madsen from our visit with him this past April with PHF Board of Directors and our Massachusetts State Chapter Director with her Hydro Hero daughter. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/alcyone-lifescienc
