Bringing a child into the world is supposed to be one of the happiest moments in a parent’s life. But for families of premature babies, that joy is quickly overshadowed by fear, uncertainty, and an overwhelming fight for survival. I know this firsthand. I spent five months in the NICU with my twins, watching them battle for every breath, every ounce of growth, every milestone. My daughter struggled to breathe and grow, and we almost lost her. My son suffered a brain bleed. The experience changed our lives forever.
But we were not alone. March of Dimes was there—not just for us, but for countless families like ours. Their research, advocacy, and support programs provide hope and tangible help for parents facing the unthinkable. They fund groundbreaking research into premature birth, ensuring more babies have a fighting chance. They advocate for policies that support maternal and infant health. They offer resources and education so that parents can navigate the NICU journey with knowledge and support.
My twins are home now, but I will never forget the road that got us here. I know that without the work of organizations like March of Dimes, our story—and so many others—could have ended differently. That’s why I support March of Dimes. Because every baby deserves a chance to survive and thrive. And because no parent should have to face this journey alone.
Your support can change lives. It certainly changed ours.
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!
