The Faces of CHD - Congenital Heart Awareness Week Feb 7-14, 2012

These are just a few of the children (and adults) affected by Congenital Heart Defects, the #1 Birth Defect. Please show your support for them by repinning their stories. Your pins will create awareness--and hopefully additional funding, resources, and research--for Congenital Heart Defects. We hope to include as many faces as we can on this board. Please visit http://www.atriptoholland.net/how-to-participate-in-the-pinterest-awareness-challenge/ to find out how to add a face.

According to The Children's Heart Foundation,"CHDs are responsible for 1/3 of all birth defect-related deaths and sadly 20 percent of children who make it through birth will not survive past their first birthday. Although a child is born every 15 minutes with a CHD, research continues to be grossly under-funded in America." We can't change statistics, but we can help grow funding! Share and help bring awareness to the number one birth defect. http://www.childrensheartfoundation.org/donate-now Hlhs Heart, Tricuspid Atresia, Chd Babies, Chd Facts, Chd Mom, Bicuspid Aortic Valve, Heart Mum, Congenital Heart Defect Awareness

Our son, Dale Perryman Sholl, was born with a handful of complex congenial heart defects. He has a form of HLHS where his ventricles didn't form right and they are reversed. So far he has had the DKS Sano, then recently had his Glenn procedure and in another year he will have the Fontan. He is doing SO well right now, finally learned to walk and now there's no stopping him. AND he seems to have adopted his father's passion for NASCAR! Since he was named after Dale Earnhart Sr. :o) Nascar, And Now
