Sarah Renehan
Founder of The Brain Drain Project, Hydrocephalus sufferer, Singer/Songwriter and Co-Writer and Colour Artist for The Adventures of Hydro Girl.
Sarah was born with Hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain) and had her first brain surgery at just 4 weeks old.
In 2011 she founded The Brain Drain Project. A website that provides support and raises funds for those
suffering with hydrocephalus. Through talking to many people on the website is was made clear that a lot of
people with the condition, young and older had been victim to bullying because of suffering from
hydrocephalus. This inspired Sarah along with her brother John to create Hydro Girl. As a symbol of hope and
inspiration to those with the condition and to let it be known that being different is not something to be
ashamed of. It’s something to be proud of.
When not working on the comic or for The Brain Drain Project Sarah is also a full time musician with her band Calling Utopia.
