ABOUT MARCH FOR BABIES
The Miami Valley March for Babies will be held at the UD River Campus Saturday, April 28, 2018. The March for Babies will start at 8:00 a.m. to turn in your donations, if you have not already done so. We will March for Babies promptly at 9:00. In addition to the 3 mile route there is a one mile fun route within UD River Campus park. This family friendly morning also features free food for the walkers, entertainment, and a kids zone for the little ones. We have added a Superhero Sprint for children 10 and under. For $20 for the first child and $10 each additional child, the child will receive a purple superhero cape that says "Miracles Do Happen". 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 money to support the March of Dimes mission to fight for the health of all moms and babies!

Daphne Brown and Cameron
Hello, my name is Daphne and I am the mother to three beautiful preemies. Being a mother you worry nonstop about your children, but being a preemie mom you worry 100 times more. During my first pregnancy, I developed preeclampsia and my liver enzymes sky rocketed. My son, Cameron was born at 24 weeks weighing 1 lb. 4.5 oz. We spent the first four months of his life in Kettering’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Four years ago I didn’t know much about the March of Dimes but today through their Advocacy, Education, and Research initiatives, the March of Dimes has leveled the playing field so that all moms and babies are healthy. They may not have made having a preemie a piece of cake but they made it where all three of my preemies had a fighting chance. That’s why we donate and walk so that every other parent can feel more hope than I did four years ago. Prematurity awareness is so important to me. My hope is that with time and research we can learn how to help babies born prematurely thrive and live long healthy lives.
