On November 1, 2005, my niece and nephew were born just shy of 25 weeks gestation - almost 15 weeks too soon. After a hard-fought 7 week battle, we lost my nephew to prematurity. Without the March of Dimes, my family would not have had as much precious time with Dylan. We also would not have been able to watch Kayla thrive and grow into the happy, healthy teenager she is now. Because of this, I march in memory of Dylan and in celebration of Kayla, who was given a second chance at life thanks to the March of Dimes' lifesaving research and development of surfactant therapy.
This amazing organization helps communities across the country through research, education, and advocacy so more parents can experience the joy of a healthy pregnancy and baby. Every dollar truly matters and helps fund research that will keep future moms and babies safe. Please join us for the March for Babies this year and consider donating, any amount is greatly appreciated!
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!
