Noah is only two years old and yet he has endured 17 brain surgeries because he has hydrocephalus. With your help, we want to give clinicians and researchers the resources they need to determine the most effective treatments to improve the quality of life for all kids afflicted with hydrocephalus.
MX for Children’s 2011 Pledge Drive Opportunities
• The Inside Line Experience (ILE) at the Toronto Supercross is being held to raise money to support hydrocephalus clinical research at The Hospital for Sick Children. By collecting pledges for this important research, the top ten fund raisers who collect over $500 become eligible to participate in the Inside Line Experience.
All (ILE) pledges must be received by SickKids Foundation by March 14, 2011 to qualify for the ILE. Donations may also be made after the March 14th deadline through December 31, 2011.
• The 2011 Jackpot Challenge at the Las Vegas Supercross is also being held to raise money to support hydrocephalus clinical research at various hospitals in North America, including The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. By collecting pledges for this important research, participants will be eligible to compete in the Jackpot Challenge. Our grand prize is a VIP trip for 2 to the Monster Energy Las Vegas Supercross finale.
