Mission Statement

Most importantly—have fun and thank you for joining us in raising awareness and funds to help find a cure for hydrocephalus and support local families in need!

With love and gratitude, The Reef’s Run Family

Hydrocephalus is a little-known condition that affects more than 1,000,000 Americans, including my son Reef. The only treatment for hydrocephalus is brain surgery, and 38,000 operations are performed annually, that’s one every 15 minutes.

Our goal is to help raise awareness for a condition most have never heard of. Please help us fight for a better tomorrow.
