Karson was born March 8th, 2019, at 1:31pm. He was born at 24 weeks 2 days, weighing 1lb 4oz. My son was born fighting, so are many other babies. March of Dimes has helped me get through the hardest time in my life. Karson is now 7 years old and thriving!
Karson became a big brother in December of 2022 and is absolutely loving his little brother! In January of 2023 Karson had a cluster of seizures in the middle of the night. Since then he has been diagnosed with epilepsy. We are currently taking life one day at a time.
I participate to help all moms and families experience the joy of a healthy baby. With nearly 4 million babies born each year, we have a lot of work to do to help them all. The funds I raise enable March of Dimes to support research, lead programs and provide education and advocacy that truly makes a difference to families in our community and across the country. If you believe, like I do, that every baby deserves the best possible start, please march with me or make a donation to support this community effort. Together we can fight for the health of all moms and babies. No donation is too small, just like no baby is too small.
Will you donate $157 in honor of Karson's 157 days fighting for his life in the NICU?
Or will you donate $24 in honor of Karson being born at 24 weeks gestation?
Or will you donate $20 in honor of Karson's birth weight of 20 ounces?
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!
