March of Dimes has been such a huge part of my life for the last 18 years.  Every workday since 2006 I have worked hard to do my part to ensure all moms and babies have the care and support they need.  I have built awareness campaigns about this critical mission, walked the halls of our State Capitol, met with families, and so much more.

In that time I have had seven pregnancies, struggled with miscarriage and fertility issues, and have given birth to two amazing children.  We've experienced the ultimate highs and lows - ultrasound appointments where we have heard the magical sound of a tiny heartbeat, or others where the only sound we heard was the doctor's "I'm so sorry."  

We have lived this mission.  

My babies have both directly benefited from the work of March of Dimes - from the care I received during pregnancy to the screening tests they were provided at birth.  And with my sweet Elayna - I had pre-eclampsia at the end of my pregnancy and delivered her early; she weighed only 4 pounds 7 ounces. She and I both spent an extra 10 days in the hospital - me as I recovered from dangerously high blood pressure, and Elayna as she put on weight and improved her breathing.

In addition to my efforts at work, Matt and I donate to March of Dimes every year because we know it takes all of us providing what we can to fund the groundbreaking research, education and advocacy programs that are making a REAL IMPACT, and have touched each and every one of you. 

Join us in supporting all families! Make a donation in celebration of a healthy baby in your life, in remembrance of a baby lost, or in honor of a baby born sick or too soon. March for Babies is for anyone and everyone who wants to do more for moms and babies—and not just today, but every day, all year long.

Thank you!
