Why I walk

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. I'm walking in March for Babies because I want to do something about this. Here are a few stats:

During 2012-2014 (average) in Hamilton, preterm birth rates were highest for black infants (13.7%), followed by Hispanics (10.4%), whites (9.5%) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (9.1%).
Black infants (13.7%) were about 2 times as likely as Asian/Pacific Islander infants (9.1%) to be born preterm during 2012-2014 (average).
In the United States, prematurity/low birthweight is the second leading cause of all infant deaths (during the first year of life) and the leading cause of infant death among black infants.

And I need your help. Please support my walk. Making a secure donation is easy: just click the 'donate now' button on this page. Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!
