Why I walk

Today in the U.S., 1 in every 10 babies will be born prematurely. Some of them won't survive, and others will have health problems that could last a lifetime. The funds we raise in March for Babies support research that saves babies' lives. When Jack and Ben came into this world at 28 weeks, Mark and I were on an emotional roller coaster. We were fortunate to have an amazing Neonatal Intensive Care Unit staff, support of family and friends, and the advances of modern medicine and technology. Many of these advances were made possible through the work of March of Dimes. We feel so blessed that our boys are now healthy adults!


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!
