Throughout a person's life, one is faced with many challenges which are influential. Hydrocephalus has clearly influenced the founder of The Hydrocephalus Foundation, Greg Tocco. With the support of family and friends he has overcome the adversity created by the complications associated with hydrocephalus.

In 1983, Greg Tocco acquired hydrocephalus; apparently by an accident incurred while playing a sport. Since that time, Greg has undergone 23 surgeries as a direct result of hydrocephalus. He embarked on The Hydrocephalus Foundation as a way to "give back" the support and resources that he received during 1995 when he underwent eight surgical procedures and made his recovery in a rehabilitation hospital.

As a result of the events of 1995, Greg reflected on his role-in-life and future aspirations and The Hydrocephalus Foundation was created. Dedicated to the patients of hydrocephalus and their families, The Hydrocephalus Foundation will assist them as they transition from post-diagnosis to a resumption of their normal lifestyles.

Born out of the first-hand knowledge of the ramifications of being hydrocephalic, The Hydrocephalus Foundation was created out of love, persistence, and the desire to assist other faced with the ramifications of hydrocephalus.
