In 2013, our first son, Maddox, was born at 25 weeks gestation and passed away after 12 days of life. We were devastasted to say the least and it took us a long time to move past that.
In 2017, we decided to try again because the doctors couldn't find anything that would suggest I would have another preterm delivery. Well, our identical twin boys were born at 23 weeks 5 days gestation. Emmett lived for 8 days and Emory lived for 126 days. Again, with no reason as to why I went into preterm labor.
This will be our 13th year participating in memory of our boys. I still participate to help all moms and families experience the joy of a healthy baby. Minh (Alex), Emerson & I will be back out walking on April 18th at 9am.
With nearly 4 million babies born each year, we still 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.
If you believe, like I do, that every baby deserves the best possible start, please make a donation to support this community effort. YOU+ MEE
