    CHERUBS needs your help to win $100,000!!!!

    CHERUBS is in a contest to win $100,000 on Facebook. We are currently in 7th place and behind 1st place by only 400 votes. We have an excellent shot at winning this contest!!!!!

    I know a lot of you are on Facebook and I'm asking our CHERUBS members to help by voting, reposting and getting other members to vote. If we all work together (as the whole CDH community should), then I know we can do do this and do a whole lot of good for CDH Research and Support!!!!!!!!!

    It takes just a few seconds to vote and post. We can vote EVERY day, once a day.

    How the contest works....

    The APX Givesback Project needs your help in honoring local charities that are doing heroic work in communities across the United States. Getting involved is quick and easy. Here are the key steps to follow:

    Nominate your favorite charity – Beginning May 3, 2010 Facebook users can nominate their favorite local charity. It might be a nonprofit you volunteer with or just one you feel is doing great work in helping others. If your favorite charity has already been nominated, you can endorse them on APX Givesback’s Facebook application. The top 15 charities receiving the most endorsements in each of the 5 regions through June 12th become Regional Finalists.

    Vote for your favorite charity – On June 14, 2010 the real fun begins. Facebook users from all over the US and Canada will be able to vote for their top 5 charities who they feel are having the most impact in local communities. The eligible charity receiving the most votes through August 21, 2010 will be named the APX Givesback Project’s top local charity. The top overall charity will receive $100,000. But don’t worry; each of the 5 regions will also have a winner who receives a $30,000 donation.

    Please vote for us! All proceeds to benefit CDH Research and Family Support!!!!

    Amazing how well we have done since July 8th (the date you posted about making events to vote). We started at 888 behind then to 856. Quickly we went to 307 behind in 5 days then today we are now 151 votes ahead! AMAZING!!!

    Dawn and a few others out there already know that I have posted a video on youtube about the APX contest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvF6osh--vM (post it around on facebook etc if you wish)

    I'm also hosting a candle sale w/ my friend and we decided to donate all the proceeds to CHERUBS. If you want to know about it find me on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/femaleprodigy) or message me here.

    My boyfriend is also a member of ABATE and he mentioned a Charity Bike Ride w/ proceeds going to CHERUBS. I'm getting in touch with some people that already do this in the area to get all the info I need and hopefully by next year we will hold it! If anyone else knows anything about it or has suggestions let me know.
    Son went 5 yrs 11 months undiagnosed with CDH. Presented itself as stomach pains so bad he was doubled over in pain. Went to local ER where they gave him pain medication and took x-rays. Once x-rays were looked at was asked if he had x-rays taken at any other time (at 2yrs old- nothing was detected). We were transferred to Janet Weis Childrens Hospital in Danville- PA. Several x-rays and hours later he was taken to surgery. Diaphragm sewn shut and feeding tube placed to help keep stomach in place. Initial stay was 6 days- came home and feeding tube came out. Rushed back to Danville and they removed feeding tube and another 4 day stay to heal.
