I became a proud supporter of the March of Dimes after experiencing the overwhelming challenge of giving birth to my daughter, Courtlynn, three months premature. She was born weighing only 2.4 pounds, and today, she is a thriving, healthy little girl. We were blessed to have the support of loving family and friends, as well as the ability to access the medical care we needed.
However, many mothers are not so fortunate. For too many, the weight of financial concerns and the struggle to find proper care can overshadow the joy of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising their children. I feel deeply compelled to make a difference for these families, because my own story could have turned out so differently.
I thank God every day for the miracle of Courtlynn’s life, and for His favor over both of us. As a way of expressing my gratitude, I want to be part of the change that ensures every mother and child has the support they deserve.
We humbly ask for your donation to help support mothers and babies in need. Donate for your own mother, aunt, grandmother, nieces, nephews, cousins, or for little Courtlynn—whose story, like so many others, is just beginning. No matter the size of your gift, know that it is deeply appreciated, and it will make a lasting impact on the lives of mothers and children whose journeys are still unfolding.
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!
