About March for Babies

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

March for Babies is a campaign to rally millions of Americans in the collective effort to transform the health of all families.

It is more than a march, it’s America’s larger call to action to ensure that all families get the healthy start they deserve!

You’re lifting up communities for health equity, opening the door for all moms to have access to care and protecting the health of families by pushing for their rights. 

You’re taking action for all families throughout their pregnancy journey by raising critical funds to help March of Dimes continue research, programs, support and advocacy so families get the best possible start.

Ambassador Family

 

 

Ames family

After being told they could never conceive, Angela and Adam were pleasantly surprised to find out they were pregnant! Henry Ames was born premature at 34 weeks gestation. Angela was rushed into emergency surgery while Henry fought for his life in the NICU. Adam and Angela were told unfortunately more children were not possible. Angela would need another reconstructive procedure, but that was to repair and not for fertility. Shockingly however, Maxton was born at 34 weeks a year after his big brother. Miraculously avoiding a NICU stay. The family attributes much of their boy’s physical strengths to their connection to the March of Dimes.  Like their mother, Henry and Maxton both show incredible strength, resilience and determination. They are thriving high schoolers who enjoy playing football, basketball and raising funds for the March of Dimes!
