Our Story

When Troy Chandler was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 28 years old, he knew nothing about the condition or what it meant for his future. This sparked a journey for Troy and his wife Annette, that led to the creation of an event that raises awareness and provides support to those living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus in our community. After being diagnosed with a complex neurological condition, Troy Chandler made it his mission to create a supportive community here in Sault Ste. Marie for people with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. Troy and his wife Annette held the first Troy's Trail event 11 years ago, and since then have joined together many families touched by the conditions. Troy's Trail Sault Ste. Marie is an Annual Spirit Walk that we organized and in 2012. The walk is a community event held down by Clergue Park by the waterfront. It is a place to come and meet with other people who share similar experiences, and bring them together for mutual support, encouragement, comfort, information and positive feedback. We are committed to reaching out and making a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families who are living with the daily challenges brought on by this serious disabling condition. Feeling a sense of community (physical and emotional well-being) is essential in providing personal growth, closer inter-personal relationships, and increased self-esteem. Therefore one-on-one personal support is encouraged between individuals with similar experiences to share coping strategies. CHARITY # 10799 9310 RR0001

🧠 What does the future of adult hydrocephalus diagnosis and care look like? https://youtu.be/XmgKZhBXP4U

Advancements in research, diagnosis, and treatment are helping shape the future of care for people living with hydrocephalus and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).

We’re pleased to share the recorded presentation, “The Next Era of Adult Hydrocephalus Diagnosis and Care,” featuring Dr. Mark G. Hamilton, Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Calgary and an internationally recognized leader in adult hydrocephalus research.

With decades of clinical experience and research leadership, Dr. Hamilton brings valuable insight into the ongoing work to improve how adult hydrocephalus is understood, diagnosed, and managed.

💙 Whether you're living with hydrocephalus or NPH, supporting a loved one, or working in healthcare, this is an important conversation worth watching and sharing.

HAPPY CANADA DAY 🇨🇦

06/30/2026

Happy muggy Tuesday everyone! We'll, everything is in, and it's time to put a bow on Troy's Trail Spirit Walk 2026. And what an event it was! The bad weather held out for us, and we had great weather from 10:30 till 2:00. There was an awesome turnout, including new Warriors, and we raised the most money for a single Walk! Our total, as of right now sits at $6,845! And that puts us at over $40,000 to date, for HYDROCEPHALUS CANADA- formerly SB&H, for their services and programs, available for all Canadians.
Once again, we would like to thank everyone who came out to support us, everyone who pitched in to help us the day of the walk, and all who had a hand in any way in making this year perfect!
We couldn't have done this without all of you!
The day was a big success, and we are so grateful and appreciative for all the love and support, and care and involvement by you all!
Already looking forward to next year, and hope to see everybody again.❤️
