As you may or may not know, this charity hits close to home for Christy and myself as a way to honor our son Chase William Blose, who was stillborn at 8 months in 2014. It is in honor of Chase that we are stepping up again with KPMG to help all moms and families experience the joy of a healthy baby and to raise awareness and research to help prevent premature and stillborn babies. Through sharing our story over the years, we have had many of our KPMG family members reach out and share similar stories or experiences and to let us know that we are not alone. We along with the support of KPMG Pittsburgh will continue to fight together for the health of all moms and babies. With nearly 4 million babies born each year, we have a lot of work to do to help them all. The funds we raise enable March of Dimes to support research, lead programs and provide education and advocacy that truly makes a difference to families in our community and across the country. If you believe, like we do, that every baby deserves the best possible start, please step up with us to show your support and/or make a donation to support this community effort. Together we can fight for the health of all moms and babies.
Every year in Pennsylvania 1 in 10 babies are born prematurely or with birth defects. As a March of Dimes board member and a member of the March for Babies Executive Leadership team, I have had the privilege of seeing first-hand how the March for Dimes is making a difference for the health of all moms and babies. Please join us and consider making a donation and become a member of our walk team in honor of Chase and to support a cause that is very meaningful to our family. If you would like to participate and join our team and attend the walk as well, please sign up by clicking on the link below. We are hoping for a great turn-out this year!
With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.
At March for Babies™ you're lifting up communities, creating connections and taking action to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
Together, we’re marching to raise funds and awareness to transform the health of all families!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
