Dandy Walker Alliance

dandy-walker-logoSix years ago, our friends Eric and Andrea Cole were blessed with a son, Ryan, born with Dandy-Walker Syndrome and a condition called hydrocephalus. After learning that no advocacy organization existed for the Dandy-Walker community, the Cole’s united with other families and established the Dandy-Walker Alliance, Inc. as a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity dedicated to providing educational and informational activities, supporting research and organizing events to increase public awareness for Dandy-Walker. Dandy Walker Syndrome is a congenital brain malformation involving the movement portion of the brain (the cerebellum). Therefore effecting muscle coordination, hand eye coordination and movement of the eyes, face, and neck. Other symptoms are malformations of the heart, face, limbs, fingers and toes, an increase in brain pressure, vomiting, and convulsions. 1 in every 5,000 children are born with Dandy Walker Syndrome which is too high of a number to not yet have a cure for. That is why Silotech Group is teaming up with the Dandy Walker Alliance to help raise money for the research of finding a cure.
