Late in September we participated in the local Hydrocephalus Team Walk. The idea is we (the royal we – all of us here in Utah) were raising money for the treatment and understanding of Hydrocephalus. For us, it was a great hance to get to know more people – doctors and specialists and families with hydrocephalus since we’re just starting out on this journey.
It was a lovely day in Sugar House park and the walk was pretty mild (1 ¼ to 1 ½ mile). We set up a web site, through the national foundation set a target for money – pretty conservative – about $125.00. We sent it out to a few people who set us out to others and before we knew it we exceeded our goals – by almost 100%. WOW. They had a band, breakfast, t-shirts, activities for the kids. A few folks from the national group spoke and they seemed to be as surprised that the Utah chapter raised as much as we did given this was the first walk held in Utah.
We’re looking forward to making it an annual tradition.
