I’m walking for March of Dimes with a deeply personal purpose. My identical twin boys, Oliver and Cameron, were born on September 27, 2023—10 weeks early. My due date was December 8, 2023, but complications from preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome led to their early arrival. It was the scariest time of my life.
Oliver and Cameron spent 8 weeks in the NICU at Prentice, where they received incredible care that gave them the best possible start. Meanwhile, I faced my own serious health challenges due to the complications of pregnancy. It was a journey I never expected, but it has made me so passionate about supporting March of Dimes and their mission to improve the health of moms and babies.
The work March of Dimes does is critical. They fund research, provide resources, and advocate for families like mine—families who face the uncertainty and fear of premature birth and maternal health complications.
I’m so grateful to have my two healthy boys today, and I’m committed to raising funds to help other families get the same chance. Please consider donating to my fundraising page. Together, we can make a difference for moms and babies everywhere.
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!
