Here we are in year number SIX marching for babies! My life was forever changed on May 7th 2017, born a fighter Becca has amazed me every step of the way. When she was first born we were warned that she would likely have significant physical and developmental delays, and each year she grows and learns and shatters those expectations we had for her life.
This year Becca really seems to have found her stride in the first grade. She loves school, skiing, swimming (especially underwater), cooking, and exploring. She continues to be a veracious reader and has become quite a writer and story teller.
The reason that I come to the work of the March of Dimes is because of my experience with Becca's premature birth, but it is important to recognize that the work of this organization also helped me to have a healthy and full term pregnancy with Ben. He made our family complete and I truly can't imagine our lives without him. He has started preschool this year and is blossoming into such a curious and observant little boy. He loves stories, playing outside, and making craft projects.
Each year we come together in love and support of all the families affected by prematurity, infant loss, and infertility. We raise awareness and money for the cause in honor of Rebecca Grace. We give thanks for this incredible girl who makes us smile every day.
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!
