On a cold January afternoon, at just 30 weeks pregnant, what began as a normal day quickly turned into an emergency delivery. My son, Rotimi, was born weighing 3 lbs and spent 54 days in the NICU fighting through life-threatening complications. Walking out of the hospital without my baby was one of the hardest moments of my life.
During those long, emotional days, March of Dimes NICU Family Support programs made all the difference—providing education, emotional support, and a community of parents who truly understood. Today, Rotimi is a healthy, thriving 8-year-old, and our family is forever grateful.
We walk as Team Sonic to advocate for healthy moms, strong babies, and families navigating the NICU journey. Your donation today helps fund critical NICU support, lifesaving research, and family-centered care. Please give, share, or walk with us—because every baby deserves a fighting chance, and no family should face the NICU alone. Thank you for standing with us. 💙⚡️
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!
