    Congratulations to CHERUBS Volunteers!!

    The following news was announced on the CDH Conference Cruise this past August:

    Every year we award Volunteers of the Year trophies to 3 worthy volunteers. Our winners for 2015 are (in no particular order):

    * Nicolle Colvin
    * Nicki Young
    * Laura Henderson

    Congratulations, ladies!!!! The winners are selected by our Volunteer Coordinators, who select nominees based on amount of volunteer work, forums participation, events, fundraisers, selling raffle tickets and other criteria such as positive attitudes, dedication to the cause, willingness to help others, etc.

    What the Volunteers Coordinators (and our VP) didn't know, is that for our 20th Anniversary, we recognized 4 volunteers who have gone above and beyond for many years, who spend hours every day away from their families to help all of yours, who make this charity tick and allow us to do all that we do. So we recognize the following in appreciation for all that they do:

    * Tracy Meats
    * Felecia Woodruff
    * Josh Hensley
    * Ashley Barry

    We also wanted to recognize 3 centers that work tirelessly to not only help babies fighting CDH but who have given 110% to our charity over the years, supporting us, encouraging us and traveling around the world with us:

    * David Kays, Joy Perkins and the CDH team at Shands for Kids
    * DHREAMS Research Study (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia)
    * Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) Genetic Research Study at Mass General
