Sara supports March for Babies

Our son Eric was born very premature and died after 5 short days in the NICU in April 2006. He was born early because I had severe and early preeclampsia, which is one area of study by March of Dimes researchers.

I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. I want to prevent any parent from experiencing the loss of an infant, as we lost our son Eric who was born too early and very sick.

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 consider making a donation – every dollar counts!
