Take the challenge get the badge

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. My daughter, Naya Jane Manalo, was one of these very sick babies who passed away way too young.

Naya lived only 7 weeks but in that time she touched our hearts and put up a valiant struggle to survive. To honor Naya's birth and short life, we invite you to join our team and raise funds to help March of Dimes efforts to give every baby a healthy start.

If you can't walk with us, please help by donating to our team. You can do so right on this page. Thank you for helping us give all babies a healthy start in memory of my little warrior princess!

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