Helping Babies Have a Healthy Start in Life

Our daughter was born 8 weeks premature and it changed our lives forever. Before her birth I received steroid shots to boost her lung development and I know advancements in research of premature birth saved her life.

Each year we walk for the March of Dimes in their March for Babies and I am a regular volunteer for this great organization that helps every baby have a healthy start in life. Their research and funding of programs help reduce premature birth across the country. We walk in hope that another family will not have to endure a tragic loss or NICU stay. Our daughter is a healthy, spunky 9 year old today. We raise money in her honor and in honor and memory of so many premature babies of friends and family that have touched our lives since.

We're making a stand against the fight against premature birth and birth defects. Our March for Babies team, Shea's Baby Brigade, has raised more than $43,000 in our cumulative years of walking. Next year we're hoping to reach that $50,000 mark for this important cause!
