It was almost three years ago when Amelia came into the world—six weeks early. She was tiny, but tenacious. Her strong spirit and the miracles of modern medicine saw her through those critical first days in the neonatal intensive care unit. Today, she is a healthy, happy, laughing, dancing, jumping little girl who knows no limits to her potential.

The medicine that gave us this miracle did not come free. The knowledge necessary to support premature babies has been accumulated through decades of expensive research—research that has been funded by the March of Dimes. Amy and I know that Amelia’s good health is owed, in part, to the March of Dimes.

Every year, we show our support for this life-changing charity by walking in the March for Babies and collecting contributions to fund future research and programs. Together, our efforts save other families from the anxiety, fear, and grieving that is too common when a child is born prematurely. We believe that our efforts, collectively, can create a future where all babies will be born healthy.

Please take a moment to donate any amount to our March for Babies team.
