Fund critical medical research.
Provide direct support to families in the Pacific Northwest facing the challenges of CDH.
Survivor/Angel Signs:
We line the sidewalks at Cook Family Park with signs remembering and honoring Angels and Survivors. If you have a CDH Angel or Survivor you would like represented with a sign, please contact us at ladybugcdh@gmail.com. Send us a few sentences about their story and 2-3 photos. We'd love to be able to honor your CDH warrior.
