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 Mach for Babies support research that saves babies' lives.

Noah was born 14 weeks early. He weighed 2 pounds and was 13 inches long. From birth he as able to breathe on his own, but was placed on a ventilator for assistance. He spent 11 weeks in the hospital. He came home three weeks before his scheduled due date. Noah is now a healthy and active 5 year old and is doing very well thanks in part to the research done by March of Dimes. Please donate so that more research can be done and all babies can be born healthy.

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