In 2019, my daughter Morgan Janille Martin made her arrival into the world six weeks early. Those early days were filled with uncertainty, prayers, and a deep reliance on the care and resources that helped her grow strong. Every year, I choose to raise funds for March for Babies in her honor.
This cause is deeply personal, but it’s also bigger than my family. Black babies are more than twice as likely to die before their first birthday compared to white babies. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a crisis. And it’s why I continue to fight for change.
March for Babies, through the March of Dimes, works to close the health equity gap, fund research, support families with premature babies, and advocate for policies that protect the most vulnerable. When you give, you’re not just making a donation—you’re giving hope, resources, and a fighting chance to families like mine.
Please consider supporting my team and making a donation today. Together, we can honor Morgan’s journey and help ensure that every baby—regardless of race or zip code—gets the best possible start.
With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.
At March for Babies™ you're lifting up communities, creating connections and taking action to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
Together, we’re marching to raise funds and awareness to transform the health of all families!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
