The Night Before

Tomorrow I will go to my first Hydrocephalus Association WALK. This WALK is in South Florida and has been running for a significant amount of time and is a largely successful WALK (at this time of writing they are hovering near the $50,000 donation mark). 



A year ago we were about to meet the members of our family that would complete it. A year ago hydrocephalus was an abstract term to us. We knew our son had it but we didn't know what that meant. Would our son be able to function? Would he have any brain damage? What kind of future would he be looking at?

A year later hydrocephalus is integrated into our lives. When I initially reached out to the HA about a WALK in central Florida, I didn't really think about the logistics of actually running one and here I sit in south Florida getting ready to embark on this journey. It's an exciting precipice to stand on. This time next year I will very likely have my first WALK under my belt. What a difference a year makes.
