We march to honor our angel, Andrew Michael Ford, and what would be his 7th Birthday on March 30, 2025. Andrew was born 3 months early due to complications associated with "Early Onset Preeclampsia". He fought very hard, but, unfortunately, his lungs and heart weren't developed enough. In addition, his heart was not functioning properly due to placental issues in utero. He passed away on March 31, 2018. We miss Andrew every second of every day.

Preeclampsia occurs in about 5-8% of all pregnancies. Although the statistics make it seem fairly uncommon, however, experience doesn't seem to reflect that. It's likely that we all know someone affected by this disease. There has been so much research on preeclampsia; however, doctors still do not know a definitive cause. Let's change that!
Please consider donating so that every baby can get a fighting chance. We want Andrew's legacy to live on!
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!
