About Ashley Fisher
Ashley Fisher, a sales executive for a Berkshire Hathaway company and two year old daughter, Bailey, currently reside in Castle Rock, Colorado. Bailey was diagnosed with severe Congenital Hydrocephalus during her 24 week prenatal scan and has endured 6 surgeries with two of them being craniofacial repair surgeries. Through many trials and tribulations, Ashley decided to take a stand and join other hydrocephalus advocates in hope to raise awareness and find a cure.
Her first strategy was to bring more awareness around the condition by writing and publishing HydroWarrior along with neurosurgeon, Dr. Charles C. Wilkinson. Although it has not been released yet, HydroWarrior’s book campaign is currently carrying a strong audience through social media in India, Somalia and the Philippines, Ashley hopes to one-day take her advocacy across the world and raise research funding in well needed countries.
