Why I walk

The El-Yafi's now live in Houston and joined the local March of Dimes fundraising campaign...This is our 22nd consecutive walk for the MOD and the 12th in Houston (we've walked in NYC, Dallas, Singapore and now Houston!). Since we started this 20 years ago, we raised over $75,000 and last year we raised close to $5000. We are committing to our lifelong promise of walking/fundraising for the March of Dimes every year as it's important for us. The March of Dimes invests in research to help prevent prematurity and birth defects. While it a US based charity, the organization has had a global impact. Thanks again for your donation to our walk!! The El-Yafi's: Tarek, Rachel, Mia (21) and Adam (18)

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!
