I joined the movement to raise awareness and create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. My daughter was born at 28 weeks, weighing 2 lbs. 7 oz., and she spent 109 days receiving around the clock care by her dedicated NICU nurses before we could bring her home.
That experience fundamentally changed me — you never expect your birth story to be anything less than a picture perfect moment, but the reality is that preterm birth and maternal death rates are continuing to rise.
It's not a club I wanted to join, but I'm committed to giving back and helping others receive the support they need. If you feel so inclined, please visit my fundraising page to make a donation or join our team at this year's March for Babies.
Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
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!
