As you all know, Eliza Grace was born at 26 weeks and 4 days. She weighed only 1 pound 4 ounces and was 11.5 inches long. That's about the size of your average small bottle of water. She was in the Lenox Hill Hospital NCCU for 100 days with many ups and downs. Thanks to the wonderful care she received at Lenox Hill Hospital, Eliza Grace is a happy and healthy baby today.

Every year, half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds raised in the March for Babies support research to help save and improve babies' lives.

Last year thanks to everyone's generosity the Eliza Grace Team raised almost $4000. Hopefully this year we can meet our goal of $4000.

Please support Eliza Grace in the March of Dimes March for Babies. Your donation would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to become a team member you can email me at elizagracesmom@yahoo.com for information on how to join the team and how to raise funds for the March for Babies.

Thanks for your support,

Anne and Eliza Grace
