March for Babies 2018 with March of Dimes

We are so excited to announce our collaboration with March of Dimes.

Last year, we started with a small group of people to raise money and awareness for premature birth, birth defects, and illnesses in new borns. That small group turned into an amazing team that helped us spread the word and raise over $7k. That small group turned into new friends.

This year, our goal is to double our team, and to double our goal.

We are even more excited for the March for Babies 2018 walk because our little family was asked to be the 2018 March of Dimes Ambassador Family. The last 19 months, we have devoted our time to stand with March of Dimes and help raise awareness for illnesses like Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the New Born. Our Mini had PPHN at birth, and because of March of Dimes, because of their research and devotion, our Mini now lives her life as the healthiest, brightest, happiest, kindest little human that she is.

I want to share a sound clip with you all. A sound that I want you to picture yourself there, to really hear it. A sound that every NICU parent hears echoing in their head, in the NICU and after they leave. A sound that never leaves them. The sound you are listening to is of our Mini, fighting to breath, with her machines beeping left and right. A sound so familiar, yet so foreign now.

We hope that you will take the time to read our story, read our purpose and most importantly, join us. We hope that you join Team Mini to raise awareness for all our little babies in the NICU. We hope that you join us to be their voice. Please click here to sign up and join our 2018 March for Babies walk.
