From the organizer
Approximately 1 in 3,600 babies are diagnosed with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). CDH is when the diaphragm has an incomplete formation or a hole in it. With an open diaphragm, organs such as the stomach, liver, spleen and intestines can travel through into the chest cavity preventing full development of the lungs, ultimately making it difficult for a baby to survive following birth. This 5k Walk/Run for CDH is an opportunity to not only celebrate my daughter, Dakotah's 1st full year of surviving CDH but an opportunity to bring awareness to this severe, life threatening birth defect! With your help, a donation will be presented to Tiny Hero, an organization that provides resources, knowledge, community and optimism to families with a CDH diagnosis! Help me support a great cause!
