If you’re anything like me, since becoming a Mom, I’ve found myself with a particularly soft spot for causes pertaining to children.  Somehow having my little ones in my life has made me acutely aware of not only the joys of raising children but also their incredible vulnerability.

I recently learned more about a cause that Clorox is supporting called the Children’s Health Fund – an organization whose mission really moved me.

Did you know that 1 in 5 children in the US live in poverty and millions don’t have access to regular check-ups and healthcare visits when they are sick?  I was amazed to hear that millions of children live in areas with too few pediatricians or in areas where transportation to health care is neither affordable nor available.

Children's Health Fund (CHF) is a non-profit organization providing health care to the nation's most medically underserved children and their families. The organization has 50 mobile medical clinics that go into hundreds of sites including schools, community centers, and homeless shelters to provide ongoing care.

Clorox recently partnered with CHF to develop “Connect Kids to Care” to rally people across the country to raise awareness of the issue.  If you go to www.facebook.com/Clorox, you can watch videos from families who bring their kids to CHF doctors, see the doctors in action and see photos of Julianne Moore (mom of two and child advocate) who helped launch the program.  It was really inspiring for me to see the difference that CHF was making in these families’ lives.
