Many of you know, I had a preterm loss before. On March 15, 2007, I gave birth to Maxwell Jay Allen McMillen, at 20 weeks and 4 days, who was born sleeping. He made me a mother and now he watches over his 3 younger siblings. The last time I participated this walk, the boys were being pulled in wagons. This year, I felt the urge to raise awareness and funds for this cause again because the fight continues.
"I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. But I need your help.
Please visit my fundraising page to 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!
