Important Update

Our March for Babies celebration is still on, but it looks a little different! We are rapidly preparing for a new, virtualized event that will be fun and engaging for everyone. This change in format aligns with the newly released CDC guidance for large events, to help ensure the safety and health of our participants. More details on our new format to come soon!

 
 
 
 
ABOUT MARCH FOR BABIES
On April 25th, 2015 the March of Dimes will gather at UNCG in Greensboro to walk for stronger, healthier babies and mothers across the nation. Walkers from Guilford and Randolph counties will join us to raise funds and awareness to make the mission of the March of Dimes possible. Step by step, cent by cent, the money raised will go toward groundbreaking preventative research that will keep mom, baby, and family together and healthy, on both a local and global scale. Early bird parking available in the Walker deck off Stirling St. (across from Kaplan Commons Lawn) prior to 9:00 a.m., Parking after 9:00 a.m. will be available in the Oakland deck off Forest St. Call or email Velvet Linville-Scales, Division Director of the Greensboro March for Babies, at 336-231-3769 or [email protected] . T-shirt and gift card incentives are available for funds raised $200 and up.

Meet Elijah

Born early at 25 weeks and 1 day in 2002, weighing just over 1 pound and measuring 11 inches long, Elijah Jackson spent 7 months in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU). He pulled through after surgery to close a duct between his heart and lungs, a tracheotomy and a procedure to correct reflux disease. He also received surfactant therapy, developed in part with funding from the March of Dimes, to strengthen his tiny lungs. When he left the hospital, he needed a ventilator and oxygen for 2 more years. Today, Elijah is a happy, healthy 12-year-old boy who enjoys school and is an avid sports fan. He is serving as the 2015 National Ambassador with his parents, Elise and Todd Jackson.
