We're marching to give all babies a healthy start

Dan and I, for our third year in a row, are participating in the March of Dimes - March for Babies walk. The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. We are walking in honor of our son Ian who, as most of you know, was born 16 weeks prematurely, and we need your help. How? We are asking you to please join us in our fund raising efforts today by donating to our family team.

You can make a secure financial contribution with a credit/debit card or PayPal by visiting our personal March for Babies webpage. If you prefer, we also accept cash or check. Just click the appropriate box on our webpage, and follow the listed instructions.

Now if you happened to stumble across this blog, and have the desire to contribute, but are a little uncomfortable giving your name to a complete stranger, no need to fret. With an online contribution, you also have the opportunity to DONATE ANONYMOUSLY.

The March of Dimes mission is one that is, obviously, very personal to us. Our son was born at a mere 1lb 2oz, and we do not take for granted the significant role this life-saving research has played in his life.

Please consider joining us and millions of compassionate people across the country who support March for Babies each year.
