Mikey was born April 23, 2006 at 31 weeks 5 days at 3 lbs 12 oz. Mikey had a 3 week stay in the NICU at Fairview Hospital in Cleveland, OH. He had a 4 week ordeal with Jaundice and that was the main reason he was in there so long. We are very fortunate that he never required any breathing assistance and he is a healthy boy today! We formed this team, at Mikey's request ;) ,to help out his fellow premature buddies from the NICU! Please join us in the walk to raise money.

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 we raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives.

Thank you for your time!

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