Dear Paul, MSAF, David, Susan, and Roy,

Your generous donation supports people like Jennifer, who wanted to thank you personally for your kindness:

My name is Jennifer and I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at the age of 10 and have undergone 100 surgeries to date. As a young adult, this condition can be extremely difficult to live with on a daily basis. Recently, I received a brand new valve, which will hopefully improve my quality of life. This is a fresh reminder of why research is so critical for people with complicated cases such as mine. “A Reason for Hope” is a $3 million campaign to invest in the study of hydrocephalus treatment, care, prevention and cure. It’s organizations, programs and campaigns like this that give me renewed hope that better treatments will be found so I will not have to have surgery number 101.

Thank you Paul, MSAF, David, Susan, and Roy for supporting Jennifer and hydrocephalus research!
