March of Dimes

I do not know if I have any readers, but if I do I thought I would post this for you. March of Dimes has one major fundraiser each year. In the past it has been called "Walk America" this year it is renamed "March for babies." My family will be walking in honor of my son. Words cannot begin to describe how far he has come. I will never forget the moment that he was born. The doctor wrapped him up in a warm blanket and ran out with him to assess him and get him started on oxygen. It was then we knew that our little 2 pound miracle was a fighter. He stayed strong and never gave up his will to live. The NICU is a tough road for preemies and their parents. It is a terrifing place in which mothers do not get to hold their babies right after birth, sometimes not even for weeks and even then not without wires and IV's. Parent's doctors and nurses all make life or death decisions every hour, if not more often. It is the hope of March of Dimes that one day no parent or child will have to experience this, but will be born full-term and healthy. By donating to March of Dimes you will make a difference in a child's life. Just like those that donated before you made a difference in my son's.
Here is our website, any donation will help. Thank you!
