It is hard to believe that just 5 1/2 years ago Kaley and Ashley were born weighing around 2.5 lbs each. Kaley's scar on her belly is a daily reminder of how lucky were are to have two girls who are now healthy and happy. They are true miracles and they are the light of my life. We continue to walk in the March for Babies because they have done so much to help babies like Kaley and Ashley. They are searching for the reasons why babies are born too soon as well as funding programs geared to prevent preterm birth. Please help me raise money for the March of Dimes so that someday every mother and father will have a happy story to tell! Every year, half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely. The occurrence of premature birth continues to increase each year - it's one of the few children health problems on the rise. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds we raise in March for Babies support research that saves babies' lives.

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
