Why I walk

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. I was one of those babies born 26 weeks early, weighing only 2lb 14oz. My mother, the late Janette E. Carrington was a big supporter and I have decided to keep up her tradition. I'm walking in March for Babies because I want to do something about this and by picking up the torch I hope to keep my mother's dream alive. It is also a way to give my mommie a Mother's day gift she would've  loved.  I need your help. Please support my walk. Making a secure donation is easy: just click the donate now button on this page. Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!  

This is my 16th year Walking, Raising Awareness and Funds.  I have set a goal to raise $1062 this year, which would bring me to raising over  $34,309.45 in fifteen years.  All I can say is Wow and  Thank You.  Please help by donating and or joining my team and sharing my link.  I can't  wait to be able to walk this year;  It's a Beautiful 3 mile walk in SW Washington DC starting at the Nats Stadium and ending at the same place.  There is usually lunch provided after the walk for participants .
