Why I walk

Graham Russell Allen was born six weeks premature on December 11, 2004. He was 4 lbs 11oz and 17.5 inches. After eleven days in the NICU he was sent home with a monitor to keep track of his breathing. Because the lungs are the last to develop he had some sleep apnea and reflux. If you were to look at Graham today you would have never known that he was premature. I believe the continuing research for premature babies is why he is so healthy. Graham and I ask you to help us support March of Dimes and their efforts to prevent premature birth.

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!
