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.

By participating in this March of Dimes event, you assume all risks related to attendance and acknowledge and consent to the event terms, including but not limited to March of Dimes' liability waiver and health and safety guidelines, as set forth in detail here.

The Henderson Family

Born prematurely, James weighed only 3 pounds and had 8 holes in his heart. Additionally, his body rejected his own blood. Doctors told his mom that he wouldn't live through the night. Prematurity has been prevalent in Vivian's family, as well. Her oldest brother & several nieces were born prematurely and faced physical challenges, as a result. James & Vivian were excited to learn that they were pregnant...and with twins in 2011. Their joy soon turned to sadness when Vivian's pregnancy ended in 2 miscarriages. They were so thankful that the next pregnancy, although not full term, gave them their miracle of love, Sarah. Vivian is a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and James is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.  Both organizations have national partnerships with the March of Dimes. James and Vivian volunteered with their organizations and were educated and empowered about the importance of good prenatal care. The Henderson family asks you to join them in the fight to end premature births. Your continued support of this event and the March of Dimes helps to give every baby a fighting chance!
