March for the Babies...

This year I have decided to join my dear friend, Jessica in raising money for March of Dimes. As most of you know, her sweet baby girl was born still in October of 2007. Last May, her team - Angel Baby - raised just under $10,000 in honor of sweet Caroline. This year, I want to be a part of that.

one day... all babies will be born healthy

today... too many moms and families know the heartbreak of having a baby born fighting to survive

I've joined March for Babies because the March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will help:

- support all-important research offering preventions and solutions for babies born too soon or with birth defects

- educate women on things they can do to increase their chances of having a healthy baby

- provide comfort and information to families with a newborn in intensive care

- push for newborn screening and health insurance for all pregnant women and children

Please help by donating today!

It's easy, safe and secure - just click (to the right) to make your donation.

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

Thank you so much for being part of March for Babies this year; especially in this tough economy. Every dollar helps.
