Reminiscing on our Hydrocephalus Event from last August💙

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since this special evening. Looking back at these moments brings back so many memories of the people, conversations, and connections that made the night so meaningful.

What started as an evening to raise awareness became so much more and a reminder of the power of community and the difference we can make when we come together for something bigger than ourselves.

Feeling especially grateful as we look back on a night that continues to hold a special place in our hearts.
