March for Babies

This time last year, we were in the NICU and were surrounded by all things March of Dimes. I remember the secretary in the NICU asking us if we were going to do the March for Babies walk as we signed in to see our miracle. Of course we weren't going to last year, we had enough on our plate hoping and praying for Connor's health. But I vowed that as long as Connor was doing well, we would help support the March of Dimes and do the walk in Connor's honor!



*20 days old*

So here we are, a year later and we now have a team, "Connor's Crew" for the March for Babies. The walk is on April 28th and is 6 miles long! I think, 6 miles?! and then I think, of course we can do 6 miles after everything Connor has been through...this is nothing!

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. With the money we are able to raise equals more hope for each baby and family.

So we are doing 2 things to help raise money for the March of Dimes.
We have a team webpage :
Please help us reach our goal of $705, that's $1 per gram Connor weighed at birth!! It also prints your tax deductible reciept after you have donated. http://www.marchforbabies.org/s_team_page.asp?seid=1830313

Connor also is in the Angels & Sweethearts Calendar contest by Cynthia Pace. She does a calendar every year and donates all the money raised to the March of Dimes. So he needs your vote, please! The voting is the entire month of April. Each vote is $1, you may vote as many times as you would like and however much you would like. Like I said, each vote goes directly to March of Dimes and prints your tax deductible receipt afterwards!

Connor is Angel #7, in case you couldn't find that adorable face! :)

Everyone always asks us if they can help us in any way. I always turn everyone's offers away, but this is one thing you can do to help! :) Every family and baby that has ever been affected by prematurity or any other birth defects can benefit from your donation. I want to thank you in advance! :)
