MY STORY

Our Miracle will turn 21 this summer and we are so thankful for everyday that we get to spend with her. On August 12, 2005 Ryleigh made her suprise entrance into the world at only 27 weeks, weighing just over 2 1/2 pounds. She spent 2 long months in the NICU and through that journey Cory and I never knew if we would be able to bring our little girl home. Thanks to the research done by the March of Dimes Ryleigh is here with us today. We walk every year to honor her and in memory of all those babies who have not won their battle. Please help me reach my goal and make a difference in preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Thanks for your yearly support!! "Never too Small to Make a Big Impression"
