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.
 

Your contributions to March for Babies helps support March of Dimes ongoing efforts in:

• Ending preventable maternal health risks and death Ending preventable preterm birth and infant death
• Ending the health equity gap for all families
• ​Mobilizing communities to address the underlying challenges impacting moms and babies and deploy strategies to improve rates of preterm birth and maternal mortality
• Continuing to advance maternal and infant health research in an effort to end preventable maternal and infant death
• Building advocacy capacity for local, state, and federal public policy in support of the health of pregnant women, infants, children, and families
• Increasing access to doulas both financially and culturally to ensure that women with the highest rates of adverse birth and maternal health outcomes have support before, during, and after pregnancy.
