Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. As most of you know, our sons, Ethan and Owen were born at only 26 weeks, 3 days gestation. Both boys weighed about 2 pounds. After a strong, heroic fight our precious Ethan passed away later that day. Our family will have a missing link from that day forward. We miss him each and every day. Owen spent 93 days in the NICU before we finally brought him home. Owen is now a happy, healthy, funny, 9.5 year old. We are eternally thankful for his health and happiness as we watch him grow. We walk to celebrate our boys. We walk for all future babies. We walk to help ensure all babies have a healthy start. Please help us honor Ethan's life and support Owen's journey. Please consider supporting our team and The March of Dimes. Every dollar counts! No donation is too small. Making a secure donation is easy: just click the 'donate now' button on this page. Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!
