Almost 20 years ago, Will was born 17 weeks prematurely at 1 lb 5 oz. His twin brother Sam, born at 1 lb 2.3 oz, did not survive to come home. While in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Will received surfactant (a chemical to keep his lungs open) and 3 months of ventilator support, among other critical life-saving interventions developed by the March of Dimes. Today, Will is in college and full of life!
Our family began walking for the March for Babies while Will was still in the NICU, and the tradition is now in its 20th year. We aren't stopping until all future babies survive to live happy, healthy lives, and until future families get to take home both their Will and their Sam. The March of Dimes has done so much in our lives, and we can't wait to find out what new advances and breakthroughs they have in store.
Thank you for joining Team Will to help support the critical mission of the March of Dimes!
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!
