One in 10 babies are born too soon, specifically, babies born to Black women are more than 1 ½ time as likely to be born early compared to white women. 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. As a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., I walk to support the 45+ year partnership with the March of Dimes. Most importantly, I walk because I am a woman, family member, friend, and Godmother, and I believe that every baby deserves a chance to be happy and 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!
