 My name  is Marylin Israel , I am Asher's grandmother, and Gonzalo, Jennifer Garcia are Asher's parents longtime spotswood ,NJ resident.

Asher was born with CDH (congenital diaphragmatic hernia),

CDH is a birth defect that occurs during fetal development causing a hole in an infant's diaphragm, allowing organs to migrate through the hole and crowding the abdomen and ultimately may cause the infant's lungs to be small and underdeveloped. When the abdominal organs are in the chest, there is limited room for the lungs to grow

About 1,600 babies are born with CDH every year in the U.S. but only 800 survive, Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.

April is CDH Awareness  Month, April 19 is CDH Awareness day for action.  The CDH awareness ribbon  is as unique as the babies born with CDH . the awareness colors for birth defect are pink and baby blue, so they were incorporated into the CDH ribbon, The official CDH awareness ribbon is pink, baby blue and light yellow to represent the survivors, with white clouds to represent the 50% of babies born with CDH who did not survive.

I would suggest please for the walk that everyone wears blue or pink or yellow or white to show  support for CDH.
