March of Dimes ~ March for Babies

This weekend, Christie, the girls and I are participating in the March of Dimes, March for Babies. This will be our 2nd year and I must say, it's a great charity. Yesterday, while at breakfast with the girls, a lady asked us if they were twins. A question we are asked all the time. I answered and was surprised at her response. She had twins a week ago that are in the NICU. They were born premature at 33 weeks. They're doing well and will hopefully be going home around their original due date.

I told her that we're raising money for the March of Dimes, and she smiled immediately. She started telling us about all of the support she has received from the March of Dimes. They have helped her tremendously through this tough time, and you could tell she appreciated everything. In addition to the support they provide for patent's families, they also conduct medical research to prevent birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

Our goal this year is to raise $500, and we're almost halfway there. Any and all support would be much appreciated. Please follow the link below to show your support:

Your gift will fund March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care. Please support this important work. You can make a donation with your credit card, or if you prefer, cash or a check is fine, too.
