About March for Babies
Come join us at the 2014 March for Babies in Eau Claire! We are stepping up in Eau Claire to help all babies get a healthy start in life, and taking a new route that runs, in part, along the Chippewa River Bike Trail. Our three-mile, family friendly route meanders from Carson Park (Pine Pavilion) over to Phoenix Park and back again, capturing the natural beauty of both parks as well as Half Moon Lake and the Chippewa River along the way. The entire distance is paved, and limits pedestrian/traffic intersections for a safe, enjoyable walking experience. I-94s Matt Malone is our 2014 event emcee, helping us celebrate the March of Dimes mission and our dedicated Chippewa Valley volunteers, supporters, sponsors, and walkers. Meet the Eau Claire 2014 Ambassador Family and be part of our finish line celebration with food, music, kids activities, and prize drawings including a complimentary one-night stay at Metropolis Resort with four passes to Chaos Waterpark in Eau Claire! To walk with us, register here today at March for Babies Central as an individual walker, or as a team. Our teams come in all sizes and represent lots of area schools, clubs, businesses, families, and organizations who share our commitment to the health and wellbeing of western Wisconsin families. You can also register at Carson Park Pine Pavilion on the morning of the event. Day-of registration begins at 9am. The walk starts at 10am with a brief opening ceremony, then we are off! Strollers and wagons are welcome. Leashed pooches are welcome, too. Bring umbrellas and rain gear if necessary; we are walking rain or shine. Cancellation only if weather conditions are severe. If you would like help signing up, or have any questions regarding the 2014 March for Babies in Eau Claire, contact March of Dimes Community Director, Tonia Johnson at [email protected]. She will be glad to help you walk with us!

Meet the Seidl Family

Meet our 2014 Ambassador Family for the March for Babies in Eau Claire: Josh and Toni Seidl, and their daughters Alexis (4 1/2) and Kylee (1 1/2). Alexis was born 13 weeks prematurely in 2009, weighing a mere 2 pounds, 8 ounces. Today Alexis is happy, healthy, and strong, walking in her fifth March for Babies this year with team Angel on Earth, named in her honor. Angel on Earth is one of the leading family teams at the Eau Claire event, and Toni Seidl has been an outstanding March of Dimes volunteer since 2010. I realized that for (Alexis) to get healthy, she needed me to be strong, reflects Toni today, not just sitting and crying by her crib. In 2014, the March of Dimes is pleased to be represented by the Seidl Family here in the Chippewa Valley, and thank them for partnering with us to improve the health of moms and babies everywhere!
