Hydrocephalus is described as a neurological disorder caused by the excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain’s ventricles. According to the Hydrocephalus Association, 1 out of 770 babies develops hydrocephalus each year in the U.S. but the condition affects a wide range of people.
Last year, organizers say the walk raised $38,000.
The walk will be held at Veterans Memorial Park. Guests can expect raffles, food, live music and more. Registration for the walk is available online and on site.
