Important Update

Our March for Babies celebration is still on, but it looks a little different! We are rapidly preparing for a new, virtualized event that will be fun and engaging for everyone. This change in format aligns with the newly released CDC guidance for large events, to help ensure the safety and health of our participants. More details on our new format to come soon!

Our ambassador

 

 

Iachini Family and Kwon Family

After struggling to get pregnant, Jessica and Josh Iachini were thrilled when they found out they were expecting a little girl in January 2017. The pregnancy was going well, until around 28 weeks they began to notice the babies movement slowed down. The doctors quickly determined that the baby was in distress and delivered Gianna via emergency C-section eight weeks too soon. Gianna spent 30 days in the NICU. Today Gianna is a healthy 1 year old and the Iachini family walks to honor her! After three years of trying, Alexis Kropp-Kwon and Young Kwon received exciting news in the fall of 2015 that they were expecting a son! Mom and baby were sailing through pregnancy when suddenly Alexis developed HELLP syndrome at 28 weeks. Baby Harris was delivered immediately via C-section weighing only 1 pound, 3 ounces. After fighting for 99 days in the NICU, Harris lost his battle and passed away. Today the Kwon family walk and serve as an Ambassador Family in honor and memory of their son, Harris.
