About March for Babies

Asheville Area March for Babies is going virtual this year. We are excited to launch a new format so everyone can participate on their own, in a easy to use virtual way. We will still Hope, Remember and Celebrate the lives of moms, babies and families!
Do you know someone who had trouble conceiving, suffered a miscarriage, had a premature baby, a baby born with a birth defect, or you would like to celebrate a healthy baby in your life? Show your support by joining us virtually on May 15, 2020 for our NEW VIRTUAL March for Babies! Because we are all March of Dimes babies!

March for Babies brings people together through events across the country and online while raising critical funds to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a yearly walk, March for Babies is a community. Families, friends, and co-workers can connect while raising critical funds for research, education, advocacy, and programs and services so moms and babies get the best possible start. Because together, each step forward leads to a healthy future for us all. March for Babies. Every step counts!

THE DENDY FAMILY

 

 

Shannon and Kennedy

With Kennedy and Shannon being born early, they had many struggles to face. Kennedy was born at 3lbs 9 oz, and Shannon was born at 4lbs 7oz. The Dendy Family suffered so much fear in the NICU. It is with great honor that they share their story. Kennedy and Shannon are with us today as a perfect example of March of Dimes' urgent mission.
