Team Milani

I’m honored to once again serve as the staff lead for this year’s Chicago March for Babies, and once again, I’m putting my money where my mouth is—literally. I spend so much time asking others to fundraise that I figured it was only fair to do it myself. My goal is to raise $5,000 to support March of Dimes and the families we serve.

March of Dimes is working to tackle the maternal and infant health crisis, because:

• 1 in 10 babies is born too soon, facing serious health challenges.
• The U.S. has one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates among developed nations.
• Pregnancy complications and preterm birth can have lifelong effects on families.
• Funds raised support lifesaving research, advocacy, and NICU family programs that provide critical care when it matters most.

This cause is incredibly personal to me. Over the past few weeks, I’ve visited NICUs across Chicago, meeting families who rely on the resources and support March of Dimes provides. Seeing the direct impact of our work has made me even more passionate about ensuring every baby gets the best possible start.

A huge thank you to my family and friends for always supporting my career and this mission. If you’d consider making a donation to Team Milani, even $10 makes a difference!

I’ll be at the event bright and early on April 26—if you’re around, come say hi! Thank you for visiting my page and for being part of this important cause.
