Right now, birthing people & babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects about 380,000 babies here in the United States. I've heard from so many friends and family that have unknowingly been supported or positively impacted by the work of March of Dimes. Ranging from a heel prick to test newborns for different diseases (all babies have this test) to spending a week or two in the NICU to treat different illnesses at birth or to grow a couple of pounds before going home. Whether you realized you are affected or not, March of Dimes has made an impact in your life from even before you were born.
Birthing people are also facing some of the highest rates of health concerns and morbidity that are directly connected to pregnancy. More than 50% of these concerns are preventable. March of Dimes is working to bring awareness to these concerns and the preventable treatments and interventions that are available.
I’m walking in March for Babies to get the message out about how March of Dimes is tackling the rising premature birth rates and maternal health concerns and you can help. Please consider making a donation to not only help me reach my goal, but to make a difference for all birthing people and babies! Together we can make a difference!
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!
