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!

The Bittner Twins

Born early at 27 weeks, Logan weighing in at 2 lb 7.5 oz and Alexia at 1 lb 15oz, the Bittner twins spent three months in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU). They were placed on ventilators after birth and also received surfactant therapy, developed in part with funding from the March of Dimes, to strengthen their tiny lungs. There were many ups and downs in their NICU journey. Since they were born prematurely, they have received speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy. Today, Logan and Alexia are happy, healthy 2-year-olds who love Curious George and books. They are small for their age but are thriving; thanks to the March of Dimes they are able to celebrate another birthday this year at the Will County March for Babies!
