Organiser's description

All proceeds from our event will be donated to CDH International. CDH (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia) is a birth defect where a hole develops in the diaphragm allowing abdominal organs to enter the chest cavity preventing the lungs from growing and displacing the heart. 1600 babies are born with CDH each year in the US. 50% of those babies do not survive. The cause is unknown. CDH is not rare though it is virtually unheard of. Without awareness it is impossible to raise money for research.
