As many of you know I have been working in the Newborn ICU for 19 years now. I was also a premature baby when I was born - 32 weeks! I have participated and raised money for March of Dimes Since I was 15 and have done so every year since. This walk is dear to my heart, as I work with many families and babies that can use your help for further education and research to save them. Please donate even a small amount goes a long way. When you join March of Dimes WalkAmerica, you bond together with millions of others in the fight to defeat premature birth. Today in the U.S., 1,305 babies will be born prematurely. Some of them won't survive, and others will have health problems that could last a lifetime. In almost half the cases, the causes of premature birth are unknown. The March of Dimes is taking the lead to find answers. I have personally experienced miscarriage, as many of my friends have over the years. You can help. The funds you raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives.
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!
