Ambassador Family

 

 

The Morabito Family

The Morabito family’s journey with March of Dimes is deeply personal. Ron and Allegra are parents to a two-year-old daughter and twin boys, Leo and Vincent. Their twins were born prematurely, and despite all the medical advancements and care they received, they tragically lost Leo. Vincent survived, and his journey has been one of strength, resilience, and hope. Having experienced both the heartbreak of loss and the challenges of the NICU, the Morabito's understand firsthand how critical the work of March of Dimes is. That’s why they are so passionate about this cause, walking for their daughter and both of their boys- for Leo’s memory and for Vincent’s future.
