City Hall and Springer Market Square will be lit up blue, pink, and yellow for Global Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Day. Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a birth defect that affects 52,000 babies each year. It occurs when a baby's diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs into the chest cavity and preventing lung growth. 50% of babies born with CDH do not survive. The cause is unknown. CDH International is a 29-year-old non-profit working with 1000's of patients in 84 countries. They are the world's oldest and largest non-profit for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
