CHD Awareness Week- Save lives! Spread the word!

We're packing our schedule full of Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week 2010 activities.

Congenital Heart Disease Awareness week is February 7 to 14.

Here's what we've got planned, all in sweet Cora's name:

Kristine is guest posting on different blogs each day. I'll tweet where I'm at and we'll play a game of where in the Blogosphere are Kristine and Cora today. (Fun, I know).
Kicking off the week as a guest on the Momotics Blog Talk Radio Show. At 3 p.m. I'll chat with Danielle from Momotics about Cora and CHD. Follow this link to listen.
February 14, Kristine is writing a special guest post for this blogger's Seven Days, Seven Hearts project.
We're passing out pink bows at to be determined location(s) in my hometown (Decatur, Indiana).
We're spending the week supporting all of the congenital heart disease awareness projects everyone else is working on! Drop Kristine an email, kbrite@gmail.com, if you need/want ANY help with a project that week.
On February 13 we're participating in the 1in100 event, the goal is to hold 100 events across the country to spread awareness. An event can be anything from a small dinner to a large affair. More details on the 1in10.org site. (Ben and I are doing a small dinner this year).
And the grand finale, on Valentine's Day, we're speaking at the first meeting of It's My Heart Michigana Chapter in Elkhart, Indiana.

I said we were keeping busy!
