On December 27, 2021 both Ellie and Sophie (identical twin sisters) were born into the world 4 months early. They were born at 24 weeks and 6 days. The expectation was to slow down labor and go to antepartum but the girls had a kind of their own. They made their appearance quite quickly and went straight to NICU. Ellie was a weight of 1 pound 7 oz and Sophie was 1 pound 12 oz. Sophie unfortunately got an infection and passed away in our arms 16 days after birth. She is survived by her sister who is now 4 years old!
I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
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!
