Hi everyone! My son Aidan was born prematurely at 34 weeks, weighing only 4 pounds 7 ounces. He spent 8 days in the NICU before he came home with us. Now he's a healthy, happy 5-year-old without any lasting issues from his prematurity. Not all babies are so lucky... This is the third year in a row that I am walking to support the March of Dimes in their March for Babies (formerly known as WalkAmerica). I know times are tough, but just a few dollars can really help the organization and possibly save some babies that aren't as lucky as my son. I know you are all such a FANTASTIC group, and its quick and easy to donate online! I will also be at Angela's on the 19th if anyone wants to give cash or a check. Please visit my webpage at http://www.marchforbabies.org/kbi5576 for more information or to donate. My walk is April 27th at beautiful Colt State Park in Bristol! If anyone wants to walk with me, you're welcome to! (you don't have to raise money to join me) THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Krista, I tried signing into your web site but it comes up Page cannot be found http404. Any other way to get in there? I'd like to help in any way I can. My husband was born premature in 1942. He only weighed 2lbs 3oz. We were also foster parents to children with disabilites as well. Wish I could join your walk. Maybe next year when I'm physically capable. Keep us posted, k? Jules

HI!! Good luck. We do alot for this organization at my work (BOA) It is kind of ironic but I was a premature when I was born I was born Spet. 14th and should ave been the end of November. I went opposite after I was 2 or 3 but was born just barley 4 lbs. This is such a wonderful organization!!  DD
