Why I walk

In Mary's Memory formed in 2006 to honor the memory of my friend Lynn's daughter, Mary, who entered and left this world on October 25, 2005. We are one of the top family teams nationwide and each year our family team raises more money than most corporate teams.  This will be the 21st year our team has walked and, as always, I'm asking you to consider donating to our team!  Your donation will help the March of Dimes in their mission to end premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. Because of you, so many families will never know the heartache my friend's family endured.  Although Mary's life was painfully short, you are helping us keep her legacy alive by supporting this cause that is very important to us. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

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!
