When you look at a happy, thriving family, you are seeing the beautiful destination—but you don't always see the steep climb it took to get there. My journey into motherhood started with a mountain to climb.
Twenty-one years ago, I was a teen mom facing a reality that would overwhelm anyone: I was pregnant with twins, and it was a severely high-risk pregnancy. Carrying multiples always comes with medical uncertainties, but navigating that intense clinical vulnerability as a young mom was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Later on, raising three children, I learned exactly what it takes to fight for your children’s health, education, and future every single day.
I know firsthand what it feels like to face pregnancy complications, to worry about premature birth, and to feel the weight of medical uncertainty. But I also know that when a mother is given the right care, the right foundation, and a supportive community, her children can achieve limitless potential.
That is why I am raising support for the March of Dimes.
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!
