Never in our wildest dreams, would we have ever imagined we’d become parents to a preemie/nicu baby. But we did, and so have many others before us, as will many others after us. We welcomed our son, Lucas, at 32 weeks after a quick onset diagnosis of severe superimposed preeclampsia, coupled with the discovery of a severe blood flow restriction from the placenta. While our medical team was originally attempting to closely monitor the preeclampsia to get us to at least 34 weeks, the discovery of the blood flow restriction was the true cause of the early delivery, as waiting likely would have resulted in tragedy. Lucas is now 2 years old and thriving! We are joining the cause for healthy babies (and healthy Mammas too)! Please consider supporting such an incredible cause!
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!
