Hello,
My name is Brooke Elmore. I was born 3 months early and almost lost my life. The March of Dimes donated a specialized incubator to me that helped me fight the infection that was shutting down my body and causing my brain to bleed. The doctors told my parents not to expect much from me, if I even survived at all....well, I did and I am a happy and healthy teenager. I am a Junior in high school and my family would describe me as their little miracle and so we promised that we would forever help other families and babies, just as others have done for me. Now that I am older and able, I am going to run the fundraiser that my mother has for years, in my honor. I am really excited about giving back to the organization that helped to save my life.
Over the years our family has raised more than $150,000. I feel so lucky to participate in this awesome organization and to finally be able to give back....from my very own preemie heart!
I am grateful that you have taken the time to read my story. I don't remember that time but I am so grateful for all of those that went out of their way to help me and my family. Please know how important this is to me and help however you can. Every DIME counts.
