Please help!

Many, if not all of you, have heard of the March of Dimes, but do you really know what they do?? This is a wonderful organization "dedicated to improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature births and infant mortality". It was not until my daughters were born 8.5 weeks premature and spent nearly four months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that I truly understood the importance of the March of Dimes. Without those donations, my children might not be with us today. I was unable to walk in last year's March of Dimes Walk for Babies as one of my girls was still in the NICU and one was home and too young to go out. WE WILL BE WALKING THIS YEAR AND EVERY YEAR AFTER. Our friends have created a team and they are walking in HONOR OF KAYLA AND KAMRYN and we each have individual goals to reach. There is a link to the right of this post for my personal walk site and goals, please click on this link and make a donation if you can...any little bit helps!! There is no minimum donation requirement! The walk is at the end of April so I need to get moving on this! Please feel free to forward the link on to your friends and family as well!! The website address is http://www.marchforbabies.org/KayKam. Here are some pictures from when the girls were first born so you can see how frail and fragile they once were! Thank you!

Kayla's weigh-in...yes, that is only 2lbs, 6 oz!!

Thank you again for any donations you can spare for this wonderful organization!!

What amazing little girls you have!!! My best friend had twin girls born at 28 weeks this year and we're participating in the March of Dimes walk with her this year. Great organization!
