Did you know that 1 in 10 babies are born preterm? My daughter, Lilly, was born prematurely at 31 weeks due to my onset of preeclampsia. It was completely unexpected, and we felt extremely unprepared and helpless. After she was born, my husband and I immediately moved onto our hospital's campus. We spent more than 10 weeks in the NICU, where we spent some of the longest, scariest, and loneliest days of our lives, hoping and praying that we would be one of the lucky ones to take our baby home.
I joined the movement to help create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. 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.
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!
