Help Ray's Shave-a-Stache for SBHI

Help Ray Shave for a Cause!

For well over 50 years, Ray Malone has sported a moustache that has become as iconic as his commitment to making a difference. Now, Ray is gearing up for a bold move - he's shaving off his beloved moustache to raise funds for Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland (SBHI) on 22nd February 2024.

Understanding the Conditions: Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus are complex medical conditions that have a profound impact on the lives of those affected. Spina Bifida is a neural tube defect that occurs during the early stages of pregnancy, affecting the spinal cord's development. Hydrocephalus, on the other hand, is a condition where cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain, causing increased pressure. Both conditions require comprehensive care and support to navigate daily life.

Ray's Personal Connection: Tragically, Ray lost his brother, Derek, to Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus many years ago. Today, his granddaughter battles Hydrocephalus. It's a cause that hits close to home for Ray, and he's ready to make a visible sacrifice to raise awareness and support for those affected.

SBHI is committed to enhancing the quality of life for those with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, offering a range of services including medical advice, community & family support, and educational and supported employment initiatives. Ray's daughter, Karen, works as the Employment Coordinator for SBHI. helping individuals with these conditions find suitable and sustainable employment and delivering Disability Employment Awareness Training to create awareness among employers which is crucial step towards making places of employment accessible for everyone.
