I can’t say enough how great it is to vision a web sites like this one.
Founded by Paul Gross, a motocross enthusiast and father reaching
out to help others with the understanding of his own life experience
after his son, William who was born 10 weeks early in
January of 2005. William, has hydrocephalus — an excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain — as a result of the
trauma of his birth. Hydrocephalus is the #1 cause of pediatric brain surgeries and affects approximately 1 million people in the United States.
William has as already undergone four brain surgeries in the first 2 years of his life.Something special I viewed on the site was the Inside Line.
This was a reward for participants in a pledge drive to raise funds for a local children’s hospital
and their research to prevent hydrocephalus. To qualify you had to raise at least $500 in pledge
or donations to the designated hospital prior to the pledge drive date. As mentioned in there Testimonial previous winners
were the Yaskow family which began participating
when there 6 year old son Dakota heard about another
2 year old who had so many brain operations.
Dakota immediately wanted to help.
