Why I walk

This is our 21st year walking in honor of our sweet angel, my niece Madison. Madison was born to heaven on February 7, 2005. Every day, so many families are affected by premature birth, birth defects, and other threats to their baby's health. I hope that with your support, no one has to endure the heartache that her family has gone through. That's why the March of Dimes is working hard to ensure that all babies get a healthy start. The funds raised in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives.

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!
