The
March of Dimes is important to us for many reasons.
Their mission, “One day all babies will be born healthy” is near and dear to our hearts, as we wish no one would have to endure the stress and suffering of having a pre-term or sick infant.
Nationally and Locally, March of Dimes...
• awarded over $70,000 to sustain the NICU Family Support Program at the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital
• awarded $1.1 million to local researchers trying to save babies in 2009
• invested nearly $3 million in the Prematurity Research Initiative
• allocated more than $24 million to national research to save babies
Because of programs and research funded by the March of Dimes, Ben is now a happy, healthy 1 year old little boy. He lives a normal life and at this point, doctors see no long-term effects from his illness at birth. He has come so far!!
We appreciate your support as we March for Babies. Please sign up to sponsor our team, “Benjamin’s Brigade”, and do your part to help save babies today!!!
