Membership for parents is free and our organization is run solely by volunteers and funded through donations from members and the public. CHERUBS has been offering support and information to families affected by CDH since 1995, raising awareness since 1995 and conducting research surveys since 1997. We have worked tirelessly to help the CDH community and to lead the support and education of parents dealing with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. CHERUBS has advocated for research of CDH by promoting awareness and searching for the cause, prevention and best treatment of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
