I joined this movement over 20 years ago to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
At around 20 weeks into my pregnancy with my twins, my husband and I found out that I would have to be on bedrest until they were born. My doctor informed me that I needed an emergency cerclage and to the hospital I went. I did my best to rest and stay positive.
January 13, 2010, Nathan Miles (2lbs 13 oz) and Nala Michelle (2lbs 7oz) made their debut appearance at 28 weeks. Thankfully, they were not sick and did not require any surgeries. They stayed in the NICU for almost 2 months to grow and prepare for home.
Today, they are amazing 14 year olds with amazing personalities, awesome talent, and full of love and compassion.
With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to continue 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.
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!
