Do you want to know WHY?

I am passionate about creating a better future for moms and babies!   It is not acceptable that that the US is one of the most danger places in the developed world to give birth.  It is not acceptable that over 10% of our babies are born premature each year.  It is not acceptable that over 36% of our counties are maternal care deserts.  Lastly, it is not acceptable that people of color are 3-4x more likely to die of childbirth related complications than Caucasians.     I walk because this movement can create positive change for moms and babies everywhere!  Health equity gaps for women are not OK.
 

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.


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!
