Meet The Roach Family

Born eight weeks early, Leilani, Evan and Logan Roach weighed between 2 pounds 14 ounces and 3 pounds 9 ounces when they entered the world on June 25, 2010. Today, they are active, happy, healthy four-year-olds who keep their parents, David and Heather Roach of Machesney Park, on their toes. During their five-week stay in the Rockford Health System NICU, the Roach family experienced treatments and specialty care "three time over" as mom Heather said. Intravenous feeding, Surfactant therapy, and other forms of NICU specialty care were all a part of their experience. "(The) March of Dimes has clearly impacted the lives of our children and us," the family commented. "Through knowledge and technology our little miracles are here today and they're thriving." Make plans to join us Sunday, May 3 at the Rock River Valley March for Babies, where you can hear more about the Roach Family's inspiring story. National Ambassador Elijah Jackson The Illinois Chapter is proud to note that the 2015 National Ambassador Family is from our home state. Additionally, born early at 25 weeks and 1 day in 2002, weighing just over 1 pound and measuring 11 inches long, Elijah Jackson spent the first 7 months of his life at the Rockford Health System NICU here in Rockford. 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.
