March For Babies is an inspiring organization that helps more people than you may even realize. With that being said, everyone should feel compelled to donate either their time and commitment to walking, showing their support, or donating an extra $ 5 – pocket change. Almost everyone knows someone who has had a premature baby or one that was sick, and maybe even an unexpected loss. March of Dimes donates 77% of every dollar in programs and research to help moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. The research helps find answers to the serious problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970, and no better time than now to start! Become a walker and raise donations/sponsors, or just donate some spare lunch money! Come join my team, or help me achieve my goal! Kolten was born early and would have been born much earlier had the doctors and nurses not done everything in their power to keep me pregnant. That was truly one of the scariest times– knowing that I was only 27 weeks pregnant and in labor. Despite their continuous efforts, he still came a month early… but from their knowledge and expertise, he is a healthy little man! I work in labor and delivery and everyday a baby is born that was kind of handed the short end of the stick– mom’s don’t get prenatal care, aren’t educated on how to care for a child, and some just don’t have the interest. March for babies helps educate women out there for the sake of our children, our future.
