Lucinda Rice

MY STORY

Born at 25 weeks

15 weeks early.

5 days until we could hold her.

121 days until she could breathe on her own

148 days until we could bring our daughter home for the first time

No Mom, Dad, baby, or family should ever have to go through this or something even worse. The trauma of prematurity has lasting effects.

We walk to help save babies like Lucinda, find causes of prematurity so it can be stopped, and stop babies from dying.

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!
