Rebecca (Ori's mom) supports March for Babies

Our family is joining the UI Health NICU's team this Sunday in the March for Babies to raise critical funds for moms and babies at UI Health and across the country. Money raised will help families receive support during their NICU stay as well as advance the research, education, advocacy, and programs all babies and families need to thrive.

With preterm birth and maternal death rates on the rise, too many families are facing the worst moments of their lives without the supports they need. We know so many others donated their time and $$ to help our family when Ori was born after only 25 weeks gestation and all the complications that followed. Come join us at Montrose Harbor on Sunday to celebrate how far he's come since this rocky start four years ago, how grateful we are for being together as a family, and help us pay forward all the love and support that got us through!

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!
