Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. Adelyn's Hope is walking in memory of Adelyn Jane McGee, the daughter of Trent and Lauren (Boswell) McGee, who is one of those babies. Adelyn was born almost 4 months prematurely on October 24, 2014 and lived only thirty hours. Our hearts were broken when she entered and left this world entirely too soon. We have joined the March of Dimes in the fight against prematurity in honor and in memory of our sweet Adelyn Jane. Our team name was chosen because we desire to give hope to those families and babies that have gone before us, for those that will come behind us, and for those that are currently fighting the good fight in NICUs across the world. The team name is also in honor of Adelyn's "big sister", Hope - a rescue boxer that was Lauren's first "child"! Our team exists because our lives were forever changed by Adelyn's short but sweet life - a life that we want to have meaning and purpose for the greater good. That's why we're asking you to join us. It's easy ... Just click the "Join this Team" button. If you can't walk with us, please help by donating to our team. You can do so right on this page. Thank you for helping us give all babies a healthy start and thanks for honoring Adelyn Jane McGee in such a wonderfully kind way.
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!
