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.

The Hull Family

Rosie Mae was born at 26 weeks, weighing 2lbs and just 12.75 inches long. She faced breathing troubles, had a minor brain hemorrhage, hole in her heart, and battled a severe infection near her airway even before we got to meet her. By the grace of God and the wonderful people that are using their God given gifts to help babies like Rosie, we have a precious miracle girl! She spent 104 days in the hospital at Brenner Children’s NICU and came home on oxygen with pulse ox and apnea monitors. Since then, we have been released from care for neurology, pulmonology and cardiology. She completed her three years of follow up with Amos Cottage where doctors stated that she caught up to her actual age rather than her corrected age by age 15 months for developmental skills, of course we had a ways to go on the physical growth part to catch up! We are out to one year checkups for ophthalmology and otolaryngology. We are so grateful for the wonderful team of doctors that provided Rosie with the best care! The love those sweet nurses and doctors showed her means so much to us! Rosie was born September 3, 2020, came into foster care while hospitalized on October 12, 2020, we were able to meet her for the first time on November 16, 2020 and she came home December 15, 2020. Rosie’s adoption was finalized July 15, 2022. We are so very thankful for the NICU staff that loved our daughter before we even knew she was born!
