Why does March for Babies matter so much.
When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $2 billion to benefit all babies.
As you all know I was blessed with twins who were born at exactly 25 weeks to the day. Both weighing 1 lb 10oz and smaller than a sheet of paper. Gabby spent the first 9 min of her life having a meeting with the angels above before she decided that she wanted to stick around and be a part of our life. One that I could not image without her. Jerome had heart surgery at a week only where the OR was brought to hime since he was too sick to be moved. We sepent countless months in the NICU with them. and after almost 4 1/2 month we finally left on our journey to become a family at home.
I have met some amazing friends through our journey with the twins and with the nurses and dr that were jsut doing a job that saved the kids. I can never thank them enough.
We are very lucky to have such healthy babies considering the start of their life many are not so lucky.
I was unable to walk in the walk down in San Diego on April 30, 2011 so I am walking this Saturday May 7, 2011 here in Oceanside. It does not cost anything to walk only your heart and passion to help further research so many more babies can be saved.
