I'm walking to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. In the fall of 2023, while pregnant with my first child, I was hospitalized at 29 weeks with severe pre-eclampsia. In addition to my high blood pressure, my daughter was diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction, and we knew a NICU stay was in our future.
Against the odds, I made it to 33 weeks before delivering via C-section; my daughter was born weighing 3 lbs., 4 oz. Luckily, she was tiny but feisty and just needed time to grow. After a 3.5-week NICU stay, she was home in time for Christmas and continues to thrive.
With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. Donate now to be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy. Any and all support is greatly appreciated.
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!
