Premature birth affects about 450,000 babies here in the United States. On March 6th, 2016, our son Sebastian Francis Cremidis was delivered stillborn at thirty-six weeks. March of Dimes offered many resources to support us and their March for Babies gave us a positive way to remember our darling boy. In 2019, we had the honor of being the MoD's North Bay Ambassador Family. In this role and even just as parents who've suffered a loss, we have met and offered advice to several families who have also been affected by stillbirth.
March of Dimes advocates for strong moms and healthy babies. They've invested in medical research to promote full-term pregnancies, created a NICU app, and developed supportive resources for grieving families. You can support strong moms and healthy babies by joining our walking team at Mission Park on April 25th and/or by making a secure donation to help us reach our goal. Together we can help the March of Dimes support families and fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible.
With appreciation,
Sebastian's mom, Emily
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
Thank you for your support!
