This fundraising page is in memory of Caleb Ray Cox. Caleb had (CDH) Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Caleb fought for his life for 2 days. God called him home 11/10/2008. Caleb was such a special little man, and we miss him so much. Please help us raise money to fund CDH Awareness and CDH Research at CHERUBS! www. cdhsupport.org or www. cdhresearch.org
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a birth defect that occurs when the diaphragm does not fully form, allowing organs to enter the chest cavity preventing lung growth. CDH strikes 1 in every 2500 babies - 1600 babies each year in the U.S. alone. 50% of these babies do not survive. The cause is not known. It is CHERUBS quest to help lead the way in CDH research to find the cause, prevention and best treatment for these babies. CDH happens as often as Spina Bifida (1,500 to 2,000 born each year) or Cystic Fybrosis ( 1 of every 3,300 live births). But you have probably never heard of CDH unless someone you love has been affected by it
Please help us by find a cause and a cure! All donations go to CHERUBS- The Association of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research, Advocacy, & Support
