March of Dimes walk

On April 5 my sisiter -in- law Katherine and I will be walking to support the March of Dimes. So far, we have only two people on our team! Please help by joining us on the walk or by donating to this important cause. You can clink on the link on the left for both. I have learned by becoming a parent how important it is to get prenatel care, and to provide this for all women. We are so lucky that Sylvie was born healthy and I hope that one day... all babies will be born healthy.

today... too many moms and families know the heartbreak of having a baby born fighting to survive

I've joined March for Babies because the March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will help:

- support all-important research offering preventions and solutions for babies born too soon or with birth defects

- educate women on things they can do to increase their chances of having a healthy baby

- provide comfort and information to families with a newborn in intensive care

- push for newborn screening and health insurance for all pregnant women and children

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
