Right now, babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects about 450,000 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, any donation you can make to this cause, no matter how small can make a big difference. Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible.
The preterm delivery rate in the United States is 10.4%. Additionally, the infant mortality rate is 5.4% - with higher rates in the South and Midwest regions. And alarmingly, the maternal mortality rate has nearly doubled since 2018 - with a rate of 32.9%. I walk, so we can make a different and change lives.
With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.
At March for Babies: A Mother of a Movement™ you're lifting up communities, creating connections and taking action to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
Together, we’re marching to raise funds and awareness to transform the health of all families!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
