THE PEDIATRIC HYDROCEPHALUS FOUNDATION
funding a cure
Hydrocephalus is an incurable brain condition affecting 1 in 1,000 births, making it as common as down syndrome. The only treatment for hydrocephalus involves brain surgery which comes with its own host of side effects and problems.
Hydrocephalus is a worldwide problem and often leads to death in many third world countries, the highest being in Africa. Most children with hydrocephalus lives rely on a shunt. A shunt is a device used to treat hydrocephalus and was invented in the 1950’s with little to no advancements since. Shunts have a high rate of infection and malfunction leaving these children in life threating positions.
Everyday these children and their parents fight to beat hydrocephalus and its neurological effects. With every brain surgery these children are at risk for brain damage, lower IQ, developmental delays, vision and hearing problems. They are at risk for being robbed of the person they were born to be.
​
As an organization the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation is committed to finding a cure for hydrocephalus, to benefit not only local children but children across the nations.
​
Every year there are many prestigious hospital systems, doctors and researchers who contact the PHF in hopes of grant money to fund research towards finding a cure. In 2018 the PHF donated $112,000 to these research projects and we are closer to finding a cure then the year before. Unfortunately, we still had to turn away many research requests due to funding. The PHF is a group of parents and hydrocephalus warriors who are volunteers, not one person takes a salary. 100% of proceeds from your sponsorship or donation go to funding a cure.
