Legacy Emanuel Hospital has graciously granted us permission for our 2nd Annual Parade of Cherubs on Friday, April 19th. We thank them for for their continued support and appreciate all they do for our precious CDH babies & children.
New this year:
* We are also having an "Information Fair" before the parade for medical professionals & the general public to learn more about CDH & pick up resource material.
* Fundraising for Research, Awareness & Support. Registration links below have options for donating to this effort. 50% of all local sponsorships and donations will go towards CDH Research & support of CDH families at Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Health Center! The remaining 50% will go to the CHERUBS CDH charity.
{{UPDATE: After discussion with Legacy Reps & our charity's president since there are currently no active research studies happening locally, our local donation will be earmarked for ECMO support since the ECMO equipment is VERY expensive and without it our sickest babies would likely have little chance of survival. Not all CDH'ers require ECMO, but for those that do, it can be all the difference!}}
Join us as we march to raise Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness. Everyone is welcome to participate! Last year we had 6 families (5 survivors & 1 angel family). Let's double that or MORE this year!!!
{{Update: Our registered count is over 60!! SO EXCITING!!!}}
