About March for Babies

Every step counts.

March for Babies is a campaign that connects millions of Americans united to improve the health of moms and babies in your community and across the country.

Together, we can give families the health information and resources they need throughout their pregnancies, and fund groundbreaking research to transform lives. We’re also advocating for policies to keep moms and babies healthy and strong.

Because together with March of Dimes, each step forward leads to a healthy future for us all.

Alyssa Grace Summey

The day Alyssa was born was the happiest and scariest day of my life. Alyssa was born at 26 weeks gestation due to preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. She weighed 13 ounces and measured at 9 ½ inches. With so many uncertainties, I have never been more petrified of losing someone. However I’ve never seen such fight and determination in a tiny human no bigger than a soda can. I never knew much about prematurity until Alyssa was born. Every day has been an uphill battle and we have had to face many hurdles with lots of uncertainties. I am grateful for organizations like March of Dimes for their unfailing commitment to families and research to give even the tiniest of babies, under a pound like Alyssa, a fighting chance. Not only a fighting chance for survival, but a chance at life as well. ~ Haley Summey, Ambassador Mom
