I'm hoping my Facebook Friends will donate $5 each which would help me raise $1800! As many of you know, our little Sophia was born nearly 9 weeks premature weighing 2 lbs 2 ounces. Her nickname was Pignola, Italian for pine nut, since she was too small to qualify for a Peanut. She spent the first 5 weeks of her life in the NICU and we know we are very fortunate to have our fiesty little girl. She is healthy, happy and growing quickly. And it's because of the medical advances the March of Dimes has helped fund. Please consider joining us in the March for Babies in Richmond, VA on May 2nd and/or donating to support our team. Did you know...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 March for Babies support research that saves babies' lives.

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