March of Dimes

[onlyambs]

Hey fellow YTers!!!. I will be participating in March of Dimes WalkAmerica, the walk that has been saving babies for more than 30 years. I am walking to raise funds to support research and that could halt the escalating number of premature births - up 27% since 1981.

Did you know that premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death in the first month of life? It affects 1,305 babies a day in the United States. Those who survive may have lifelong health problems.

That is why I am asking you to support me in March of Dimes WalkAmerica. The March of Dimes is leading the way to find answers by supporting research into the causes of premature birth. I am joining the fight, and so can you. I myself was born premature weighing only 3lbs. 3ounces. Fortunatly, I was one of the lucky ones but there are still a significant amount of babies who aren't as lucky as I was. I am looking forward to participating in the WalkAmerica and knowing that I contributed to saving the lives of babies all over the world is a wonderful feeling.

Please sponsor me in March of Dimes WalkAmerica by visiting my personal Web site to make a donation and to learn more about the March of Dimes.
