Hi friends and family,

I really appreciate you visiting my page and taking the time to donate. March of Dimes is an amazing organization in which its goal is to reduce premature birth in the United States and give every baby a chance to be born into this world. Today, premature birth is the primary cause of death of babies in the United States. It is devastating that two babies die every hour in the U.S. and one woman dies every 12 hours as a result of complications from pregnancy. I believe that together we have the power to change this. I march because every baby should have the right to be born healthy, without any birth defects. I march because no mother should have to go through pregnancy complications. I march because I believe that a difference can be made, regardless of how big or small. Last but not least, I march because my twin and I were premature babies. My parents were happy that we were both born healthy, and I want to spread that same happiness to other families. Now, I ask you to help me in making a change, so that every baby can experience life. 

Thank you, 

Samika Mehra
