ATTENTION:
MOUNTAINOUS TERRITORY - double or triple your distances to meet the 377.6 km's if you need to. So those used to 100 km a month can still make the full course! You decide how much your run/walk/cycle based on your own limits.

Our Mission: CDH International was created to help families of babies born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia by providing support services, promoting research and raising awareness.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a birth defect that occurs when a baby’s diaphragm (a thin sheet of muscle that separates the abdomen from the chest) fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs to enter the chest cavity and prevent lung growth.
CDH occurs in approximately 1 in 2500 births, with over 1600 babies diagnosed each year in the United States alone. There is currently no known cause, but studies have suggested that it is likely due to a number of genetic and environmental factors.
$1,320 raised since 1 Jan 2022.
