CHERUBS is given a place in history on Wikipedia!

Wikipedia never gives individual pages to support groups or even small charities, not without some historical or public significance. I've known of several groups who were deleted from just posting on Wikipedia for blantant commercialization. It was in removing one of those groups from a page about CDH that Wikipedia contacted us after looking at our site and asked if we would like a place in their on-line encyclopedia. Of course we said YES!!!!!!! :)

We had to fight with some Wiki staff who weren't sure we should be there, not even with our legislative petitions, all of our awareness activities, etc. It was a hard argument but 13 years of work, being the world's largest and first CDH organization, having the world's largest parent database for CDH and the fact that we've been in medical journals won them over!!!!

This is a HUGE achievement for CDH Awareness!!!! :)

OK, a little question...would it be possible to get CHERUBS UK and CHERUBS Australia listed down the bottom as external links? No problem if they can't but thought it was worth asking.

That is so awesome....next stop....HOLLYWOOD!! hehehe
I'm so proud to be a part of Cherubs.

Dawn:
This is a fantastic accomplishment and a real feather in your cap. You are the backbone of this organization and without your dedication, perserverence, hardwork and vision, none of this would have been possible. Thank you for all your selflessness.

Well done Dawn!!

Because there are always people that whine or complain... we need to reword the Wiki on CHERUBS. Are they any writers here that can do this? I'm not impartial enough to rewrite it. It needs to sound more "encyclopedia like". It needs to show how CHERUBS is something that has affected society and made a difference without sounding like an "advertisement".

Any volunteers?
