Well friends, once again our lives have been touched by a premature birth. This time some old friends have welcomed Baby Noah, at just 24 weeks gestation. Because of advancements made possible through funding and awareness efforts from the March of Dimes and March for Babies, baby Noah is already wowing the NICU nurses and docs.
Every year, more than half a million babies are born prematurely in the United States. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death worldwide. Even babies born just a few weeks too soon can face serious health challenges and are at risk of lifelong disabilities. Premature birth costs society more than $26 billion a year. Click here for more information on how the March of Dimes supports families to both reduce the risk of premature birth and assist those facing it: http://www.marchofdimes.com/mission/localprograms.html
I hope you'll join us in 2011 to support our March for Babies team "Will's Wobbly Walkers". We'll be walking April 30th and have a BIG goal this year. I hope our team will raise $3000 or more to support the March of Dimes. We've come a long way as a preemie family, and I am so grateful to everyone who has helped us support this cause that is so near and dear to our heart.
