We are walking in honor of our twins, Grace who was stillborn at 24 weeks and Elijah who was born at 26 weeks, 6 days on New Year's Day 2015, weighing 2.5 lbs. Elijah remained in the NICU for 65 days under the close care of a variety of healthcare professionals at St. Joseph's Women's Hospital. Today, Elijah is an active 11 year old who loves to play outdoors and swim. We are extremely blessed and it is our desire to give back to an organization that is dedicated to helping pregnant women receive the resources necessary to have healthy, full term pregnancies and for premature and full term infants to have thriving lives from day one.
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 march with me or make a donation to support this community effort. Together we can fight for the health of all moms and babies.
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!
