Dear CHERUBS members, Family and Friends who use Facebook, Myspace & Twitter:

We would sincerely appreciate it if you would help our cause by posting the following status update on tomorrow (Tuesday, March 23, 2010). Our goal is to raise awareness, catch the eye of the media and recruit family and friends to join in to help raise awareness also. If 500 people post and each have at least 50 friends, then that's 25,000 we can make aware of CDH in just 1 day!!!

But we need your help to do this. Please post the following to your Facebook, Myspace and Twitter status.  And your blog too please:

There will *never* be a cure for CDH - it is not something that a pill can fix. Lung function is just *one* factor in the survival of CDH babies - more babies die from, or stay in the hospital longer, because of infections and side effects than lack of lung function. The way to stop CDH is to find the cause and prevention of this horrible birth defect. The way to do that is to raise awareness and to promote more research for CDH! But we can't forget the families already affected by CDH and we must *always* promote support first!
