2009 bought us all together again for the annual CDH Conference in San Antonio, Texas. Our former volunteers for the UK and Australia had both achieved nonprofit status in their respective countries and were awarded trophies by CHERUBS for their hard work to create CHERUBS UK and CHERUBS Australia. The CDH Study Group, Mass General, Baylor, and DHREAMS all participated in the conference as well.
2009 also bought new services and funds to help CDH patients and families and we continued to grow as a charity and community.
