Congenital DiaphragmaticHernia (CDH) occurs when the
diaphragm fails to form or toclose totally and an openingallows abdominal organs intothe chest cavity. This inhibitslung growth.
CDH occurs in approximately1 in 2,500 births, 1,600 casesin the U.S. each year. The
diaphragm is formed in the firsttrimester of pregnancy andcontrols the lungs’ ability toinhale and exhale. The causeof CDH is not yet known.
Over 1600 babies are bornwith Congenital DiaphragmaticHernia EVERY YEAR in the
United States alone.
With a 50% survival rate, 800of those babies will die. Today,and every day, at least 4families will be devastated with
the news of CDH.
The Race to Raise CDH Awareness is a 5k
run/walk that will begin at 8:00 am atFriendship Park in Columbia, MS. A 1 -mileFun Run for kids ages 9 and under will take
place around the Friendship Park track. After the Fun Run, we will release balloons
in memory of Sela Marie.

Sela Marie was born to David and Laura
Anderson of Foxworth, MS on March 14, 2014.She had been diagnosed with a CongenitalDiaphragmatic Hernia at only 20 weeks in-utero. Sela had just 23 days to spend with
family and friends but touched animmeasurable amount of people during her
time with us. The footprints you see here areSela’s very own and represent the imprint shemade in our lives. We continue to celebrate
Sela by raising awareness about CDH.
CDH is more thanjust a hernia
