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 -- all babies. I am very excited to be a part of the “first” 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.
I will be walking in memory of my daughter, Lila, and in honor of her twin brother, Will, and her brand new baby brother, Sam. Will and Lila were born at 31 weeks. Lila had a life-threatening birth defect and lived an hour and 37 minutes. She only knew love during her short stay with us. Will spent 22 days in the NICU and is now a happy and healthy 4 1/2 year old. Sam was born healthy and full term in February. Please support the March for Babies so that all babies can get a healthy start.

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