Donna supports March for Babies

I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. 

With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. But I need your help. 

Nearly twenty six years ago, things went horribly wrong at just 23 weeks and 4 days pregnant, due to a placenta abruption. Three days shy of viability, we fought for every hour to stay pregnant. We go those three days, and 13 more, but at exactly twenty-six weeks, Ryley was born, weighing exactly 2lbs, and suffering respiratory distress. He spent 93 days in the NICU, and came home on Christmas Day, 2000. Since 2005, we have walked and supported the March of Dimes in thanks for the research they funded that saved Ryley's life. Help us give that gift and support to every family facing the NICU, as well as work toward the day every mom and baby has a healthy pregnancy and birth.

When it comes to giving families the best possible start, we all have the power to help.

March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.

March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.

Thank you for your support!
