March for Babies!!!!!

My girls were born as preemies at only 35 weeks, which is great for twins, but they still had to stay in the NICU for almost two weeks. They had a few problems and I know without the support of the March for Babies and the research that the March for Babies provides that we might not have been as lucky to bring home two beautiful baby girls. So I am asking you to please support my walk.

Yes its still many days away, but why wait to spread the word? March for Babies is coming, May 1, 2011 @Robertson Stadium, here in Houston @9 am. This year the walk will be five miles instead of the three from last year. Its cool I can so do it!! Please either make a donation or heck even join the HoustonAreaMommies.com team and you can do it too!!!


For anyone who doesnt know about the March for Babies here's a brief description:

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. I'm walking in March for Babies because I want to do something about this. And I need your help.The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.


Your gift will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.


Making a secure donation is easy: just click the 'donate now' button on this page. Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!
