I am a relatively new aunt to a beautiful nephew, Robert Christian born December 11, 2008. He was born 13 days premature, but my family and I are fortunate that he was born and still is healthy and growing every day! I am also happy to announce that I will become an aunt again on April 12, 2010! The March of Dimes has changed the name of its biggest event to March for Babies. It's a great change because it makes it very clear exactly who I am walking for -- two very special angels...TAYLOR HERNANDEZ and SAVANNAH GONZALEZ -- and all babies. I am very excited to be a part of the March for Babies; please support my participation. Although the name of this signature event changed, the mission did not. The March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will support lifesaving research, services, education and advocacy that help babies get a healthy start. Please help by donating today!

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