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 the March for Babies support research that saves babies' lives.

Sam and Eli were born early at 24 weeks and thanks to medical advances funded by the March of Dimes, they are home and healthy today.

We are walking in honor of the boys, the friends they made, and the friends they lost. We are also walking so no one else has to go through what we have seen after spending 9 months in the NICU.

Thank you so much for your donations!

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