As a NICU nurse I bear witness to the struggles faced by the families of babies born prematurely, and the babies themselves everytime I go to work. I am continually in awe of these parents ability to face their worst nightmare day after day for sometimes months on end, and do it with a smile. Quickly moving onward from set-backs, eager to celebrate the next ounce gained, or stool had. We all try our hardest to celebrate daily, smile, laugh, focus on the good things. But no matter how many smiles, jokes, or 'good days' they have these families are still living the nightmare of going home without their baby wether it be for one night, or for all the nights to come.
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!
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!
