Why I walk

As most of you know, Jenny and I are very involved with and forever indebted to the March of Dimes and we walk in March for Babies for Kayla and in memory of our son Dylan.  If it were not for the March of Dimes, I know that I would never be able to tell you how Kayla, our daughter, is the happiest and most positive young lady who loves reading, skiing, playing volleyball, hanging with her friends.    

Without the tireless efforts of organizations such as the March of Dimes, Kayla would not have had the chance of growing into the vibrant young lady she has become.  Kayla, and many other premature babies, have directly benefited from the medical research, services, and programs that are supported by the March of Dimes.  In fact, without surfactant therapy (to treat respiratory distress syndrome) developed by the March of Dimes, Kayla would not be with us today.   


When it comes to giving families the best possible start, we all have the power to help.

March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.

March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.

Thank you for your support!
