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 represents both the challenges of spina Bifida...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 suffering from Spina Bifida... but the beauty of a flower is equally meant to reflect the beauty of people with Spina Bifida who, in spite of their challenges, live happy and productive lives...
