I’m marching this year for March for Babies with a very full heart and a very personal reason. Both of my daughters arrived earlier than expected and spent weeks in the NICU at OHSU—weeks filled with uncertainty, strength, and more gratitude than I knew was possible.
During that time, March of Dimes was there in ways big and small, supporting families like ours when we needed it most. They don’t just show up in those hardest moments—they also fund critical research that helps improve outcomes for babies and, hopefully, prevents other families from having to walk the same road.
I’m raising money and marching to give back, to say thank you, and to help create a future where more babies can start their lives strong and healthy. If you’re able to support or share, it truly means the world to me and my family.
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!
