I feel incredibly blessed to have the chance to participate in the New York City Marathon with the March of Dimes team.
This organization is extremely important to me, as I was born prematurely at 27 weeks on August 29, 2000, weighing only 2 pounds and 2 ounces. I spent over 100 days in an incubator in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where my family visited every day to check on me. Throughout this time, I received many life-saving procedures and tests, all made possible by the incredible medical advancements in the United States.
Just 50 years ago, babies born at 27 weeks, like me, had only a 10% chance of survival. Today, thanks to the dedicated work of Premature Research Centers and organizations like the March of Dimes who help fund them, that chance has risen to 70%.
By donating today, you will help babies like me receive the great care they deserve. Any amount helps and encourages me tremendously as I overcome this physical and mental challenge. Thank you so much!
