Julia Supports March for Babies

As many of you know, I have been involved in researching ways to improve maternal health over the past 5 years, through working in clinical research in maternal-fetal medicine to now pursuing a degree in perinatal and reproductive epidemiology. 

In 2022, I ran the Chicago Marathon with March of Dimes, fundraising to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. This year, I am SO excited to be partnering with March of Dimes again for the 2025 NYC Marathon! With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. On a more personal and less serious note, I am also committed to improving my 2023 NYC Marathon time when I accidentally ran with COVID and had the worst 5 hours of my life. 

By supporting my marathon journey, you're contributing to essential programs that:

  • Fund innovative research to identify causes and preventions for premature birth
  • Advocate for policies that prioritize the health of mothers and babies
  • Provide educational resources and support to families experiencing challenging pregnancies
  • Deliver specialized care to premature and sick babies

Please visit my fundraising page to make a donation. Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy!

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!
