Moms Take on the World for Sick Kids
Inspired by their children s fight for survival, moms take on the world for treatment of devastating birth defect to save other peoples children. Wake Forest, NC, December 31, 2020 (PR.com) CDH International was created 25 years ago on the kitchen table of a 22 year old mom, seeking help for families like hers affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
CDH is a birth defect that affects over 52,000 children worldwide every year. During gestation, the diaphragm fails to fully form often allowing abdominal organs to reach the chest cavity and restrict lung growth. There is a 50 percent chance of survival with CDH and the cause is still unknown.
