Today in the U.S., 1 in every 8 babies will be born prematurely. Some of them won't survive, and others will have health problems that could last a lifetime. The funds we raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives.

My daughter Fiona was born April 13, 1996 with Thanatophoric Dysplasia, and only lived a half hour. Please help me fund research into the causes and preventions of birth defects and prematurity. You can help change "I'm sorry, we did all we could." to "Don't give up hope, she has a good chance."

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
