Marching for Oliver and his NICU friends

On August 11, 2023, Oliver was born at 26+4 weeks gestation, weighing only 15.5 ounces. At the time, he was delivered to save both his life and mine, but he was only given a 10-20% chance of survival intact. He overcame what seemed like impossible odds, and is thriving today thanks to the incredible compassion his NICU team poured into his care. 

I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk like Oliver.

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.

When it comes to giving families the best possible start, we all have the power to help.

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!
