My Story

My daughter Francesca was born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Francesca was diagnosed with CDH at my 20 week scan in June 2014, (June is also CDH awareness month), I still remember hearing the letters CDH during the scan and having no idea what those 3 letters meant. We met with consultants and having never heard of it before and having no idea what it meant at that time for my unborn child we began our CDH journey. Francesca was placed in the 50% survival group and put up a fight from day one. She was very strong and with an amazing team looking after us and her she conutines to thrive. Francesca has approximately 30% of a left lung and 70% of a right lung. Unfortunately not all families have the same outcome. I hope to raise awareness and help give hope and support to all families affected by this condition.

25 Together 4 CDH
