Richard supports March for Babies

I walk as a Mission Dad — because I've felt both sides of prematurity.

My daughter Julia was born at 1 lb 6 oz, three days after her twin sister, who didn't survive her prematurity. I know the grief that premature birth can bring. I also know the miracle.

Julia is now an aerospace engineering student — a true light of our lives, and living proof of what's possible when science, care, and hope come together.

I'm proud to support the March of Dimes because no family should have to face what we faced without a fight being waged on their behalf — through advocacy, education, research, and real solutions that improve outcomes for the tiniest, most vulnerable lives.

If you've ever held your breath in a NICU, or know someone who has, please consider walking with me or supporting our team. Every dollar is a step toward a world where more babies — and more families — get their miracle.

When it comes to giving families the best possible start, we all have the power to help.

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!
