About March for Babies

Every step counts.

March for Babies is a campaign that connects millions of Americans united to improve the health of moms and babies in your community and across the country.

Together, we can give families the health information and resources they need throughout their pregnancies, and fund groundbreaking research to transform lives. We’re also advocating for policies to keep moms and babies healthy and strong.

Because together with March of Dimes, each step forward leads to a healthy future for us all.

Sophie Pearson

Decreased fetal movement prompted mom and dad to raise concerns to their doctor about their usually feisty baby girl. Sophie Marilyn was delivered via emergency caesarean section 9 weeks premature, she required immediate transfer to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to have surgery to address her birth defect, Tracheoesophageal Fistula – Esophageal Atresia (TEF-EA), within 24 hours of birth. Sophie spent 8 weeks in the NICU being cared for by some of the best medical staff anyone can ask for their newborn. Sophie is now 20 months old and has had 5 more stays in the hospital since graduating from the NICU. While she continues to battle the uncertain challenges of chronic respiratory illnesses and feeding issues, she continues to be an inspiration through her strength, overall happiness, and bright smile with which you can't help but fall in love. -The Pearson's
