In North Carolina, 10.4% of births are premature.
In North Carolina, the preterm birth rate among black women is 53% higher thatn the rate among all other women.
The lasting effects of prematurity can put a person behind before he/she ever enters school or applies for a job.
For these reasons and more, I am walking.
Your support of positive energy, love, prayers, dimes or dollars would mean the world to me.
Gratefully,
Laura
