As the Ambassador Family for the 2026 March for Babies, we are so honored to share our story with our community and to aid March of Dimes in their mission to build healthy families through awareness, fundraising, research, and advocacy.
On February 17, 2025, we suffered the tragic stillbirth of our beloved son, Bernard. Our team, Weekend For Bernie, is in memory of him and in honor of all the babies that will come after him - for us and for parents worldwide.
At 37 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy, we arrived at the hospital thinking we were in labor. Our bags were packed, his nursery was ready, but in triage we heard the words that no parent can fathom - “there is no heartbeat”.
There was no preventable cause for the loss of our precious Bernie, but together, we can advocate and fundraise for research to improve the lives of mothers and babies - especially those most at risk.
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
Thank you for your support!
