Yeah!!!!! Wonderful!!!!!!!!

Stats - grab those from our brochure (in the downloads section). Mainly that it's 1 in 2500 babies born will have CDH, 1600 babies a year are born in the US with CDH and 800 babies will not survive. There is no known cause. We need more research done!

I know you'll do a great job bringing awareness to Danville!!! WTG, Penny!!!!
