Today, Mr. Strawbridge supports a number of charities and nonprofit organizations, including CURE Hydrocephalus. CURE Hydrocephalus is an organization devoted to eliminating untreated hydrocephalus throughout the world. About 400,000 babies will be born this year with hydrocephalus, a build-up of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain. One of the most common nervous system disorders of children, when left untreated, it can cause significant brain damage, blindness, and death. Because most countries in the developing world suffer from a critical shortage of neurosurgeons, most cases of hydrocephalus go untreated in the developing world, with tragic consequences. CURE Hydrocephalus seeks to end untreated cases in these areas by creating treatment centers and training surgeons. CURE also is committed to gathering research data through its treatment efforts to better understand the causes and best treatment procedures for the condition, as well as the most effective methods of preventing postinfection hydrocephalus.

One of the founding members of Selkirk Partners, an investment firm in the Northeast, Stewart Strawbridge studied classics at Bowdoin College, located in Maine. With a family legacy that includes horse racing, Stewart Strawbridge sponsors a race at the Willowdale Steeplechase that honors well-known horse breeder Marshall Jenning. Horse breeding requires detailed knowledge of the mare and the stallion to be bred, and in order to produce a healthy foal, the breeder needs to learn how to keep the broodmare healthy. The list below outlines the nutritional needs of a broodmare throughout her pregnancy. *First trimester-The broodmare does not need any extra grain or calories during this time. *Second trimester-If the broodmare has quality pasture available to her, this should be supplemented with vitamins and minerals. Alternatively, commercial grain mixes fortified with vitamins and minerals can be used. *Third trimester-The weight of the foetus may increase up to one pound each day during the last trimester of pregnancy. Therefore, the broodmare needs significantly more calories, protein, phosphorus, vitamin A, and calcium during this time. Additionally, the broodmare requires increased trace minerals during this time to birth a healthy foal. |
