ABOUT MARCH FOR BABIES
The Clark County March for Babies helps support the March of Dimes mission of improving the health of babies. This year's walk is being chaired by Paul Hiltz, the Market President and CEO of Community Mercy Health Partners. They are also the signature sponsor for the event. Our May 7th March for Babies will be at Buck Creek State Park. Individuals and teams can turn in their donations starting at 8:00 a.m. and we will March for Babies promptly at 9:00. The family friendly day will also feature a free breakfast offering and food after the walk is completed. We will have entertainment and a fun kid's zone for the little ones. This rain or shine event welcomes individual walkers, as well as family, corporate, and school teams. Join us and start your team today! Start raising funds on line to support the March of Dimes mission of improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. The Clark County March for Babies is a safe fun event for old and young alike so join us on Saturday, May 7, 2016 at Buck Creek State Park.

Our ambassador

 

 

2016 National Ambassador Ismael Torres Castrodad

Isamari Castrodad had a healthy pregnancy until she was hospitalized for a low level of amniotic fluid. Luckily she learned about premature birth from the March of Dimes and asked questions — because after she was anxious enough to get her fluid levels checked again, her son, Ismael, was born by emergency c-section 5 weeks early. Six days after discharge, he developed jaundice and RSV (a serious lung infection) and was treated in the hospital. He had to be rehospitalized with pneumonia and asthma, but today, Ismael is a charming, healthy 13-year-old from Puerto Rico who plays soccer and loves to sing. He and his family will travel around the country to raise awareness of premature birth and encourage moms to confidently ask questions about their health.
