For my Bar Mitzvah project last fall, I raised over $1,100 for the March of Dimes to fund research to help children survive prematurity and childhood diseases. It is because of medications, therapies and treatments developed through March of Dimes-funded research that I am alive today.

I may not be able to walk with my father due to other commitments, but I would still like to help raise money for the cause this year. Please help me to help others like me.

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. I'm raising money for the March of Dimes because I want to do something about this. And I need your help.

Please support my campaign. Making a secure donation is easy: just click the 'donate now' button on this page. Thank you for helping me give all babies 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.
