Only 4 More Days

Our family is walking for the March for Babies this Saturday morning. We are still trying to raise that last little bit of money in an effort to reach our goal of $500.

The March of Dimes is a cause that we believe in and support. As you all know, our twins were born 7 weeks early. 12.5 MILLION babies are born too early each year! Unfortunately, premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds that we raise supports research that saves babies' lives. All babies deserve their full 9 months.

Sorry I'm a little late in donating. It's something I keep meaning to do and it kept slipping my mind. I wish we could donate more right now. I am really glad ya'll are doing this. It's something we really believe in and are so thankful for the NICU. Our kids wouldn't be healthy today without it. We might try to come on Saturday. Ben's going to be in AUBURN, but I might bring the kids and their wagon and walk with you guys...as long we nobody is sick and they're all in a good mood. :)

This is a great cause close to my heart too! Your video brings tears to my eyes! I can't imagine how overwhelming this journey was for the two of you (with 2 premature babies). I've been through a lot in my not so long life but one of the hardest things I've had to go through is having a premature baby in the NICU. No body should have to experience that...especially those precious babies if it is at all possible to prevent it! Good luck with your fund raising and walk!!! BRAVO!

Thank you so much! We are so blessed that our babies were okay. My heart breaks into a million pieces when I hear of a family that has lost their premature baby. I am so thankful for what the funding has done for so many.

Anna, I almost forgot...

We would LOVE to have you all join us. I completely understand if you can't since you will be flying solo. We are meeting behind Connor's in the "grassy knoll". :)
