We are walking in support of our daughter, Annalise, who was born premature at 26 weeks. The support and care that the NICU team gave our daughter and family was a great gift for a very scary time. Our daughter is now doing wonderful and continues to show us all the milestones she is achieving everyday. In December 2019, she was officially discharged from Early Childhood Intervention services! We always look forward to seeing how much she continues to make new milestones and memories with our family. Annalise is now EIGHT years old and in 2nd grade and enjoys reading, math, singing bible songs and dancing! We still have one more milestone doctor visit in July and we will officially be discharged of all of her premature birth medical care, as long as the doctor gives us the green light. As a family, we don't have enough "thank you's" for the amazing NICU staff at Memorial Hermann Memorial City!
Right now, babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects about 380,000 babies here in the United States. We are walking in March for Babies to get the message out about this terrible problem and you can help. Please make a secure donation to help us reach our goal. Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible.
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
Thank you for your support!
