March Of Dimes

Each year I'm proud to help fund raise for the March of Dimes. I think they are a worthy cause for my time and talent. The March of Dimes is a wonderful organization and I know they helped save the life of Ian when he was born. If he would have been born before a lot of the research they've done we may not have him today and that would be the greatest tragedy of all. Now that we are pregnant with baby #2 we know that the last four years and the money we've helped raise will increase the changes of this baby being born at a healthy 40 weeks!


The March of Dimes kick-off breakfast was a couple of weeks ago - it was held to jump start the 2009 March for Babies walk. I was awarded the Top Individual Walker Corporate for the money I raised. I wanted to give a shout out to all of you that donated and helped me win this award. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You are the reason I beat my goal of $1,500 and raised almost $1,800 last year.

I'm raising the bar this year - $2,500 is my goal - you'll be receiving your letter in the mail to help me reach this goal! Feel free to visit our page www.marchforbabies.org/TeamIan and donate - every dollar makes a difference in some babies life! If you can walk with us that day we'd love to see you. It is a fun filled day for all the kids. Last year they had The String Beans play and there were all kinds of activities. I know your kids will love it like Ian did!



Here's the award I received! Thanks again to everyone that donated last year!
