Our Mission

 

To improve the quality of life of all individuals with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus and their families through awareness, education and research.

The Daisy

 

The association’s symbol is the daisy, which represents the challenges of spina bifida and hydrocephalus:

  • The heart of the flower represents the brain, which in the case of persons living with spina bifida, is often affected by hydrocephalus

  • The daisy’s petals are cloven, thereby representing the various lesions caused by spina bifida and hydrocephalus

  • The daisy’s leaf and stem are irregular and depict the unusual form of the spinal cord and backbone of a person born with spina bifida

  • The beauty of the flower reflects the beauty of people with spina bifida and hydrocephalus who, in spite of their challenges, live happy and productive lives.
