I’ve already hit my fundraising goal—but I’m not done yet.

I’m asking for your support because this work is deeply personal. I’ve experienced miscarriage, preterm birth, and unexplained infertility—and those experiences connect me to the families March of Dimes fights for every day.

Now more than ever, nonprofits like March of Dimes need your help. Government agencies are facing shutdowns and staffing cuts, but we’re still here—conducting research, educating communities, and advocating for change. We’re filling the gap, and your support helps keep us going until things are back in place.

At March of Dimes, I lead a team working on the issues you hear about in the news. We’re behind the Maternity Care Deserts Reports and March of Dimes Report Cards—tools healthcare leaders, journalists, and policymakers use to drive action. We’re also evaluating mobile health centers that bring pregnancy-related care to places and people that don’t have it, and expanding awareness of low-dose aspirin to prevent preeclampsia in at-risk moms.

Worried about data access? We’ve got you. My team manages PeriStats, a free national resource that puts maternal and infant health data into anyone’s hands—whether you're a student, journalist, or advocate.

I was honored to be named a March of Dimes' Rookie of the Year for 2024, and I’ve never been more motivated to keep going.

Every dollar makes a difference. Help me go beyond the goal, for the moms, babies, and families.

To help, you can donate, share our mission with your network, or join a local March for Babies walk in your area.

Thank you for standing with me. It truly means the world.
