In November 2025 my daughter and son in law delivered their sweet baby girl Vivienne Grace, our first grandchild, at 25 weeks due to my daughter having severe preclampsia. Prior to this they struggled with infertility for a few years. Sweet Vivienne passed away four days after delivery. As a labor and delivery nurse for over 20 years I have worked with several families who have delivered preterm babies and helped support them. The toughest thing for me as a nurse and a mother was to be helpless for my daughter and granddaughter.
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!
