Last year we raised nearly $3,000 to support the March of Dimes, and we're hoping to do the same this year.
Why we walk:
Kennedy was born 8 weeks too early, at 32 weeks and 3 days, weighing only 3lbs 5oz.
Due to advancements in medical technology and procedures over the years, she was able to breath on her own not too long after being born, and was able to gain the weight needed and grow strong to be where she is today. Without the March of Dimes (and March for Babies) we would not have had these medical advancements.
Today she is almost 16 months old, nearly 20lbs, and is taking on life with the sass, vigor and enthusiasm that Austin and I have. I could not even begin to imagine life without her, and I am thankful every single day for the nurses and doctors in the NICU at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley, California who helped us in our time of need.
I know myself, along with many other preemie parents, do not ever want another parent to go through this, however we know it is a reality and it does happen. Kennedy, and these other parents and children are the reason why we March for Babies.
We March for awareness, and with the hopes that with each step it will bring us that much closer to having strong and healthy babies for everyone.
Please help us again, in supporting the March of Dimes through March for Babies
