For the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of serving on the March for Babies Executive Leadership Team in Middle Tennessee, helping rally our community around a mission that truly matters. In 2024, I was honored to serve as the Walk Chair, working alongside an incredible group of volunteers, corporate partners, and community leaders to support healthier moms and stronger babies.
This cause is personal for me. My mom served as a NICU nurse, caring for some of the most vulnerable newborns and supporting families during incredibly difficult moments. Growing up, I heard stories about premature babies fighting for their lives and the strength of the parents who stood beside them. Those experiences shaped how I see this mission today. Because of that, I often say I’m married to the mission.
Every family deserves the chance for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Yet far too many families face challenges like premature birth, complications during pregnancy, and disparities in maternal health outcomes. The March of Dimes works every day to change that through research, advocacy, education, and support for families.
March for Babies is more than just a walk. It is a movement of people who believe that together we can improve maternal and infant health for communities across Tennessee and across the country. Last year, our statewide efforts helped raise more than $275,000, and every dollar supports programs that improve care for moms and babies.
If you’re in Middle Tennessee, I would love for you to come walk with me on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at First Horizon Park in Nashville (19 Junior Gilliam Way, Nashville, TN 37208). Registration begins at 8:00 AM, and the walk starts at 10:00 AM. It’s a powerful morning of community, purpose, and support for families who need it most.
This year, my goal is to raise $3,000, and with your help, we can get there.
If you’re unable to attend, I invite you to support this mission with a donation or by sharing this page with others.
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can help give every baby the best possible start in life.
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!
