Why Clementine marches (and climbs)

Here we go--Clementine's 16th March for Babies!

Clemmie was born at 28 weeks in August 2010, weighing just under 3 pounds, and spent 63 days in the Brigham & Women's NICU with chronic lung disease. Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon and often very sick. Research supported by the March of Dimes contributed to her brilliant care at BWH. 

Since 2020, Clem has done her own personal challenge in addition to the official march on Mother's Day weekend. This year, she was set on climbing Maine's highest mountain, Katahdin, but a howling snowstorm at the end of May got in the way. Instead, she climbed Mt. Hale, Mt. Willey, Mt. Tom, Mt. Field and Mt. Washington, hiking 25.39 miles, ascending 9,839 feet over 3 days. Four friends and two dads joined her for “an incredible time.”

If you'd like, you can make a pledge donation from this or directly with Clem through the month of June.

Thank you for helping give all babies a healthy start! Hope you’re all getting ready for a great summer! 

xo Kelly, Nick and Clementine
