April 19th is almost here...

So the International Day of CDH Awareness is quickly approaching on April 19.  How are you planning to increase awareness of congenital diaphragmatic hernia??

Here are some quick and easy things you can do to show your support:

  1. Participate in the Chicago Parade of Cherubs at Children's Memorial Hospital or any other local event.
  2. Join and post pictures, videos, etc. in the Virtual Parade of Cherubs on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and/or Google+.  For information on how to participate ask me or see this Facebook note.
  3. Donate a tweet per day to CHERUBS via JustCoz.org.  This great website makes it easy to show your support by signing up one time (and forgetting about it).
  4. Use the hashtag #SavetheCHERUBS on Twitter, Google+, and Foursquare all day on April 19th.
  5. Write your Congressman to let them know you support the $50,000,000 CDH Research Bill.
  6. Sign the CDH Research Bill petition.
  7. Add a twibbon to your profile picture on Facebook and Twitter.
  8. Write your local paper or community website.  Let them know your story.
  9. Ask your Governor, Mayor, Village President, etc. for a Proclamation for the Day of CDH Awareness on April 19th.
  10. Read the CNN iReport and post a comment. 
  11. Hold a mini-march are your child's school
  12. Tell everyone you meet your story!

I'm sure there are others...but this should get your started.  Feel free to comment with other ideas.
