BC Place lights up for CDH Awareness

April 19th, 2020

BC Place will light up blue, pink and yellow for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) Awareness on Sunday, April 19th.

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a birth defect that occurs when a baby's diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs to enter the chest cavity and preventing lung growth. CDH occurs in 1 in approximately every 2500 babies. The overall survival rate is 50%, while the cause is unknown.
