About Me


This MySpace account is for CHERUBS, a support group for families and medical care providers of children born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH).
CHERUBS was founded in 1995 to support families of children born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) and to increase awareness, research possible causes and better treatments for CDH. It is for ALL CDH FAMILIES, not in memory or honor of 1 cherub. It was formed to bring the entire CDH Community together to support each other and take a stand against CDH.
Currently, CHERUBS has over 2100 members in 38 countries and all 50 states. CHERUBS is an IRS approved 501(c)III organization that runs on volunteers and donations.
CDH is a devastating birth defect, affecting 1 in every 2500 babies. It occurs when the diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing the abdominal organs to enter the chest cavity and prevent lung growth. CDH has a 50% survival rate. The cause is not known.
For more information on CHERUBS and CDH, please visit our web site at http://www.cdhsupport.org

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

You can even name your cherub character too. Here's an example below under the dotted line. To use the character of your choice go to http://www.cdhsupport.org/web/adopt.php and find the cherub that you want to use. In the code below change the name adam to whatever name the cherub character is named on our site (all lower case - make sure to use the name of the character there, not the name you want it to have). To change the name of the cherub, edit the name Bobby in the coding below. You can also change "I adopted my cherub" to something like "I support CHERUBS in honor / memory of _______".
