Shelly supports March for Babies

Together with my own former NICU baby, now 22 years old, I'm running the Baylor half-marathon “Bearathon” in Waco, TX. This year is also my 50th birthday and running this race with my first-born felt like a great way to celebrate. Please join me in supporting a cause I hold near and dear – mom & baby health. 

Today I'm the Senior Executive Director for March of Dimes' Georgia Market – a state pushing a 12% preterm birth rate, which is significantly higher than our national average. Who would have ever thought this former NICU mom would get a chance to serve the cause in this way?

Thank you for supporting Madeline and me in our 13.1 mile run for moms and babies. We are grateful for you support!!!
