CHERUBS is proud to work with the children's music group, "The Jammies" to collaborate on a children's song and book about Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia!!!

We are tickled beyond belief to be able to work with 2 great guys - one of which has a cherub of his own! A book about CDH on a child's level to help explain things to young siblings and survivors has been needed for so long! We are so excited that there will be a song as well!!!

We hope to also have them perform at our 2009 CHERUBS CDH Conference in San Antonio, Texas in July!

We're currently looking for sponsors to cover these projects - please let us know if you are interested in helping us! donations@cherubs-cdh.org

very cool!

[StephanieOlivarez]

What an honor.
Everything is going so well for CHERUBS!

[Tammy Pettus-Kopacz]

I'm so excited! This is great! As CA rep and the Jammies being based in Fresno, Ca. I'm hoping they will be a big part of Cherubs.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out!

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

Will do, Tammy! Hopefully they will be at our 2010 conference in San Francisco! :)

[Tammy Pettus-Kopacz]

WHAT!!! 2010 conference in S.F.!!! WOW, really!!

I would love to help! I have some great ideas for some guest speakers.

May I ask, why S.F.? Just wondering!

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

See what happens when you miss us for a while! LOL ;)

SF because Dr. Harrison is there and UCSF is a great support to us and we'll have awesome guest speakers. :)

Plus, we need to have it on the West Coast, SF isn't as dry as Southern California and not as humid as Washington. Just makes sense to have it there.

And we'll need all the help you can give us!!!!! :)

The Jammies are currently in the studio, recording the song!!!! : ) It will be available in a few week through iTunes and proceeds are going to CHERUBS!

I am sooooo excited!!!!! : )

[KarlaHolt]

Have you heard any of it yet Dawn? Just wondering. I can't wait!

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

I haven't, Karla. I can't wait either! : )

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

I got to hear the song today. : ) It's WONDERFUL!!!!! It's not a kid's song, it has morphed into a song about having a child in the hospital. I cried and had such goosebumps listening to it!!! Craig even cried too (he can relate to the PICU/NICU experience because of Braden having craniosynostis). It's going to touch a lot of families!!!

We're unveiling it at the conference and I will have a video of the song with our cherubs photos up next week. If you want your cherub's photo included, please make sure to add them to the 2 photo albums (survivor and non-survivor) - that's where I always pull photos from for projects.

The song will go on iTunes soon so everyone can purchase and use it (I expect to see it on a lot of personal videos!). Proceeds of sales are going to CHERUBS!

The Jammies are amazing... I can't say enough good things about them.

[Chris and TracyMeats]

Look forward to hearing it at the conference!!!
