Brooklyn is now 19 years old and finishing her freshman year of college… and every single step of her journey is nothing short of a miracle.
This year, we are believing for our strongest fundraising year yet, and I’m inviting you to be a part of it.
Our family walks for March of Dimes because this mission is deeply personal.
Brooklyn was born at just 23.5 weeks into what was supposed to be a full-term pregnancy. She entered this world feet first in a complicated breech delivery, weighing only one pound … barely larger than a bottle of soda.
We spent nearly six months in the NICU, endured multiple surgeries, and watched her fight for her life with the help of a ventilator for three of those months. Because of research supported by March of Dimes, Brooklyn received life-saving treatments, including surfactant to help her tiny lungs develop.
Today, despite ongoing health challenges, Brooklyn is thriving. Her life is a testament to faith, resilience, and the power of medical innovation.
But her story is not the reality for far too many families.
Premature birth remains the leading cause of death for babies in the United States, and millions of families still face heartbreaking outcomes. That is why we continue to show up, year after year.
This is where you come in.
Your donation today does more than support a cause, it helps save lives. It fuels critical research, supports families in crisis, and brings hope to babies who are still fighting for their first breath.
If Brooklyn’s story moves you, I ask you to take action:
👉 Make a donation today in her honor
👉 Help us give more babies a fighting chance
👉 Be part of someone else’s miracle story
Together, we can change outcomes for moms and babies everywhere.
Thank you for standing with us, for believing with us, and for giving generously.
Love,
Chris, Kayla and Brooklyn Adams
