March for Babies

I am walking in the annual March for Babies, part of the March for Dimes, on April 27. I believe in this cause because the money that is raised is used to:

- 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

I want all babies to be born healthy and feel that raising money for them by participating in this walk is a way I can do a small part to help towards this goal. It is especially important to me as many people near and dear to me are beginning families and I want each of them to have a healthy, happy baby.

If you'd like to support me in my walk, please donate through this link. Thanks to generous donations, I am nearly halfway to my $400 goal! I've added a widget to the side of my blog to track my donations.
