Annette supports March for Babies

January 1, 2026

Happy 2026! Thank you for visiting my page… Please take a look at my pictures above, they go back many years! I wanted to talk a little about how I started with the March of Dimes. In 1991 my firm Reed Smith Shaw & McClay had a walk team. My sister Gerri was pregnant with my nephew Marc. He was born in August of 1991. He was 10 pounds 10 ounces. A big boy. How could you not notice the little babies in the hospital and here is my nephew very healthy. I decided then to walk for the March of Dimes to help raise money and awareness and I haven't stopped since!

This will also be my 35th year of signing up to captain our Reed Smith Philadelphia Team and we have raised close to $220,000.00 in that time to help end preventable maternal health risks and death, ending preventable preterm birth and infant death and closing the health equity gap for all families.

Thank you for sponsoring me in the past if you have and if not, please help this year!

I will be walking on Saturday, April 18, 2026 at the Navy yard and my goal this year is $6,025.00.

Please help me raise funds needed to help babies be born healthy! Thank you!

Annette
