*The total amount displayed reflects the amount on the team or personal fundraising progress bar. If the progress bar is not displayed on the team or personal page, the team/person
won't be displayed on the leaderboard. Leaderboard totals reflect cash and checks marked "received" on the online sponsor form as well as credit card and PayPal donations. Team
captains can enter as cash and mark "received" any money raised through promotions, such as bake sales and casual days and any sponsorship money paid to the March of Dimes,
on their team's online form. Record all donations on your online sponsor form before you turn in cash and checks to the March of Dimes!
Our ambassador
Meet The Blue Family
Meet The Blue Family
In 2011, we weren't expecting my pregnancy to be anything but typical, and were overwhelmed and surprised when my water broke at just 25 weeks. I was placed on hospitalized bed-rest, and we were able to gain another 4 weeks until our son Keaton was delivered via emergency c-section on September 20, 2011. Weighing just 1 pound, 13 ounces, he was taken straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. During his 70 days in the NICU, he fought against a staph infection, received a strong steroid regime, and spent time on and off of oxygen support.
Keaton is now two years old, and there is not much that slows him down! He is doing well, and especially loves his little sister Summer, whom we welcomed to our family after a full-term pregnancy. Our entire family is looking forward to serving as the 2014 Cedar Rapids March for Babies Ambassador Family to share our story, bring awareness, and raise essential funds for the March of Dimes. Without their work and research, Keaton's story may have been very different.
Watch more of our story on Facebook @ March of Dimes-Iowa Chapter.
