Every year Roast & Toast chooses a charity that has personal connection to its founders, their family and friends. For this year’s charity we have chosen to support and raise money for the Hydrocephalus Association as we have two families who are impacted by this condition.

If you are unaware of this condition, hydrocephalus is a life altering, life threatening condition, caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid, resulting in pressure on the brain. The most common treatment for this condition is brain surgery to implant a medical device called a shunt, which has a 50% failure rate in children within the first two years. A shunt is not a cure as many patients endure multiple brain surgeries throughout their lifetime, some more than 100. 

So, please help Roast & Toast raise money to support the Hydrocephalus Association in finding a cure!
