This will be my first of many March of Dime events and I am walking for my twin daughters, Peyton & Mackenzie, who were born at 24 weeks 1 day weighing 1lb 6oz and 1lb 5oz.
Mackenzie spent 154 days in the NICU before coming home at a day over 5 months old. Peyton came home 9 days later after 163 day stay with a G tube.
We are forever grateful to the NICU team at St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital for saving our girls lives. It was the hardest thing I have ever experienced and I wouldn’t have gotten through it without the support and kindness we received at the NICU.
I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
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. But I need your help.
Please visit my fundraising page to make a donation. Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
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!
