Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. I'm walking in March for Babies because I want to do something about this.
I didn't know about this day in 2008, but I did participate with my husband and then 2yo daughter Africa in our first March for Babies to raise money and awareness for prematurity. However in 2009 the cause struck closer to my heart and my family as our son Kirikou was born 20 wks to soon. Being so early and under developed we were told there was nothing that could be done for him. He lived for 4 hours after being born. He was a strong baby no matter how small. The short time that he lived raised the love and appreciation for others going through this situation.
In 2010 I hit the streets again raising money for the March for Babies. This time I upped my goal. I have yet to meet it, but there is still time. And I need your help. Please support my walk. Making a secure donation is easy: just click the 'donate now' button on this page. Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!
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: A Mother of a Movement™ 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!
