It's time to once again celebrate March for Babies! I've just celebrated my 27th anniversary working for the March of Dimes. I ask you join me in this movement to continue the fight for healthy moms and strong babies and I appreciate any support in helping me reach this ambitious goal!
I'm so thankful to see the pictures of all the adorable healthy kiddos in our lives who make us smile and give us hope for these brighter days ahead. I'm also thankful for the March of Dimes history of research and innovations that had led to so many healthy births and have been when things don't go as planned. March of Dimes continues this fight, but we still have work to do.
Our country is facing an urgent maternal and infant health crisis. The U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color. With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, we need to unite, connect and fight for families now.
Over the years, I've been connected to so many stories of triumph and loss... of families riding the unimaginable rollercoaster of having a baby in the NICU and of wonderfully healthy births. One of those stories of great triumph is muse for our team Simon Says March! - Simon Francis and his mom and dad Rachel and Joel. Read more about Simon's story and our team's efforts overall.
I ask you support my efforts with a contribution meaningful to you, and know that the next time you need support for a cause, you can count on me.
Thanks so much!
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!
