Walk Pics

Team Carter raised $2,334 for this year's walk! We are also so excited about Dr Walker's announcement that the government just awarded a grant of $1 Million to the Research efforts for Dr McCallister and Dr Walker's new research center here in Salt Lake, what an accomplishment. Dr Walker spoke at our walk about the wonderful research they've come out with and how this money will help them fund their findings for different ways of TREATING and PREVENTING Hydro. What angel's the researchers are, they work for next to nothing with very little funding. They are definitely doing great work for hydro families all over the world. Check out some of our exciting pics from the walk:





We also got a chance to perform a shunt operation on a brain:

TEAM CARTER!

Join our 3rd Annual Hydrocephalus Walk in Salt Lake City. You are invited to come out and walk with TEAM CARTER on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 9:30 am at Sugarhouse Park. Last year we came in Second place for the most funds raised and First place for the most walkers who came out to support. You can view our page and register to walk at:
TEAM CARTER'S WEB PAGE
This website is where you would register to walk, make sure you order your free t-shirt when you register.

We have done several fund raisers for this walk and other hydro events so if you'd like to donate that would be great but we know we've tapped a lot of resources lately. Last year we did have several of our friends and family go around to their friends, families and co-workers and collect donations, that would also be great again this year.

Its our family goal to raise awareness about this condition that Carter lives with every day and we are determined to make a difference for him and others who live with this debilitating condition. We hope to see a cure in his lifetime and you can help us reach that goal with our fundraisers throughout the year.
