I was diagnosed with preeclampsia, which caused an emergency C-section, and then HELPP syndrome after Landon was born. Landon was born 8 weeks early and spent 27 days in the NICU. We are walking in support to help understand what causes preeclampsia and to bring awareness and resources to those affected by a premature birth.
Landon is doing awesome and has no lasting effects from being born premature. Not every baby or mom is that lucky.
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!
