Gorum's Marchers

My three boys were all born full term and healthy but we are the lucky ones. Before I started working at the March of Dimes, I knew not everyone had an easy pregnancy or easy delivery but once I started working for the March of Dimes, I then realized just how often something happens to our families. The fact that 1 in 9 babies are born too soon, is startling.

I participate to help all moms and families experience the joy of a healthy baby. With nearly 4 million babies born each year, we have a lot of work to do to help them all. The funds I raise enable March of Dimes to support research, lead programs and provide education and advocacy that truly makes a difference to families in our community and across the country. If you believe, like I do, that every baby deserves the best possible start, please march with me or make a donation to support this community effort. Together we can fight for the health of all moms and babies.

I included pictures of my family on my team page because even though I shared that I had all my boys full term, the other boy (my husband) in one of the pictures wasn't born full term. I believe that the March of Dimes helped save his life back in the early 80's and for that I am extremly greatful! Without him, there wouldn't be my three boys. Without him, there would be no us.

I know the work that the March of Dimes is doing IS making a difference for all families and I am thankful that I am making a difference in the lives of our future and I hope you will help me in my mission to continue to make a difference.
