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!

2016 Local Ambassador Emry

In June of 2014, Emry was born at 24 weeks gestation 5 days after her mom, Jacci, was diagnosed with preeclampsia. Emry weighed just 1 lb., 7 oz. and was 11.5 inches long. After 115 days in the NICU, Emry came home on oxygen support, a heart monitor, and a pulse oximeter. She held on to the oxygen support for another 5 months and then never looked back. She is now a happy, healthy 18 month old. She is walking, talking, and just as sassy as can be! Grateful to the March of Dimes, the family walks in March for Babies to help create a future where all babies are born happy and healthy.
