Right now, babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects close to 400k babies here in the United States. In addition, maternal mortality has only increased since 2018 - when my son was born prematurely, and the team at Endeavor Highland Park saved both of our lives.
This year I’m walking in March for Babies as part of the Chicago Associate Board's Care Affinity Group. This group has come together to honor NICU families, and although my son was early and spent time in observation in the nursery - he was not in the NICU. I'm walking to honor the NICU graduates closest to my heart, the mighty minis Miriam, Jaime and Ali brought into this world.
You can help me get the message out and raise funds. Please make a secure donation to help me reach my goal. Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible and help maternal health.
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!
