Stella Grace Bertoncini was born on February 20, 2016, weighing 1lb 11oz. She was considered a micro preemie because she was born at 24w5d. Stella spent 111 days in the NICU and just celebrated her 2nd birthday. We were so fortunate to have had the best possible care for her at Prentice Womens Hospital. Please think about contributing to the March for Babies to help these little ones have a fighting chance, like Stella.
Right now, babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects about 380,000 babies here in the United States. I’m walking in March for Babies to get the message out about this terrible problem and you can help. Please make a secure donation to help me reach my goal. Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible.
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.
