On June 18, 2017, Annabelle was born eight weeks early due to severe preeclampsia, weighing just 3 pounds, 11 ounces. She spent five weeks in the NICU fighting to breathe, eat, and regulate her body—earning the nickname “Feisty Annabelle” from her nurses.
Today, she’s a healthy, joyful, and still very feisty 8-year-old who brings endless light to our lives. We’re deeply aware that not long ago, her story could have been very different.
That’s why we support March of Dimes. With 1 in 10 babies born prematurely in the U.S., and maternal health risks on the rise, their work is critical—funding research, supporting families, and advancing health equity.
If you believe every baby deserves a healthy start, please consider donating. Together, we can make a real difference for moms and babies everywhere.
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!
