On 3/7/17 my brother Steve and his wife Jenna welcomed their first baby into the world. Domenico James was born 12 and a half weeks early but was doing great for the first twelve days. On Sunday 3/19 he came down with a bowel infection called Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). After a tough two day battle we lost our sweet baby Dom. We're so proud of the way he fought and we're so grateful for the two weeks we had with him.
Right now, babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects about 380,000 babies here in the United States. I’m walking in March for Babies to get the message out about this terrible problem and you can help. Please make a secure donation to help me reach my goal. Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible.
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!
