In April 2024 we discovered we were pregnant with our second child. By June, we learned we’d be having a baby boy, completing our set of one girl, one boy, and our dog Cheddar. While our daughter, Lyanna, had hoped for a baby sister. Over time she became excited to have a baby brother. She even started to identify some toys she would give to him!
At 27 weeks, I checked into hospital where the doctors confirmed our worst fears. They could not find a heartbeat and told us we had lost our son. Logan Blue Gering was born silent into this world on September 20, 2024.
We walk to remember Logan. While he spent a too brief moment in our arms, he is forever in our hearts. We walk with the hope to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, we are committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start, but we need your help.
Please visit our fundraising page to join our team and/or make a donation. Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
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!
