Important Update

Our March for Babies celebration is still on, but it looks a little different! We are rapidly preparing for a new, virtualized event that will be fun and engaging for everyone. This change in format aligns with the newly released CDC guidance for large events, to help ensure the safety and health of our participants. More details on our new format to come soon!

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. Scott, Chelsey, Keaton & Summer Blue
