I participate to help all moms and families experience the joy of a healthy baby. With 1 in 10 babies in the U.S. born prematurely, we have a lot of work to do. The funds I raise enable March of Dimes to support research, lead programs (like the NICU Family Support program I oversee) and provide education and advocacy that truly makes a difference to families in our community and across the country.
I also particpate because our family knows the heartache of losing a baby. My first nephew, Joseph Martin was stillborn on December 23, 2000. While we only got to hold him in our arms for a few moments, we hold him in our hearts forever.
If you believe, like I do, that every baby deserves the best possible start,please make a donation to support this community effort. Together we can fight for the health of all moms and babies.
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!
