I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
My son Cameron Javon Amica was born on January 16, 2005, weighing 1 1b. 3 oz, he was 21 weeks premature. The doctors informed us that he would need a lot of medical care and he would need to be at least 6 lbs to be removed from the NICU.
My mother called Cam our million dollar baby. We spent tireless hours with the NICU department watching nurses, doctors give our son the best care possible. The March of Dimes provided us with countless resources and helped us navigate through this process.
We were never able to bring Cameron home with us…however we work with the March of Dimes to help others bring their babies home.
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.
Please visit my fundraising page to make a donation. Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
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!
