Every year, half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds we raise in March for Babies support research that saves babies' lives. As a respiratory therapist in the NICU at St. Joseph's Hospital, I provide care to the premature babies and I see everyday the difficulties they go through. My baby brother Nathan passed away when he was only 5 months old from a birth defect that affected his brain and caused seizures. I walk in memory of those babies who have passed, in honor of those still fighting, and in hope of stopping premature birth. Please help these babies with your donation.
With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.
At March for Babies™ you're lifting up communities, creating connections and taking action to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
Together, we’re marching to raise funds and awareness to transform the health of all families!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
