Why I walk

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. I'm walking in March for Babies because I want to do something about this. Here are a few stats:

During 2012-2014 (average) in Hamilton, preterm birth rates were highest for black infants (13.7%), followed by Hispanics (10.4%), whites (9.5%) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (9.1%).
Black infants (13.7%) were about 2 times as likely as Asian/Pacific Islander infants (9.1%) to be born preterm during 2012-2014 (average).
In the United States, prematurity/low birthweight is the second leading cause of all infant deaths (during the first year of life) and the leading cause of infant death among black infants.

And I need your help. Please support my walk. Making a secure donation is easy: just click the 'donate now' button on this page. Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!

WE NEED TO UNITE, CONNECT AND FIGHT FOR FAMILIES

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^™ 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!
