I have never gotten to walk in the March of Dimes but i so appreciate everybody who does. That means these ppl care and wanna find out why so much innocence is lost every year. Thank you all for caring so much...This is in the name of Dominik Austin (born 6/9/02 2.2 lbs) and Christian James (born 6/9/02 2.3 lbs) And thanx to all the wonderful ppl who cared about them so much to do everything they could to save them both there are alive and well at six years old in kindergarden:)

This story is so true and March Of Dimes is wonderful!! I had my little boy 2 months early 3 1/2 years ago and he has been sick every since. He spent from July 2007 to Dec 2007 in the hospital 3 times in ICU and the local director of March of dimes came by to visit my little boy several times, even after a few of his surgeries. I will always support March and Dimes and look forward to when I can make another trip to the state capitol with them again because premature birth has to end!

What a wonderful video! I will be walking for the first time this year. On December 18th of 2006 my daughter gave birth to a baby boy at 26 weeks. He weighed only 2 lbs 1 oz. If not for the March of Dimes he would not be here today. I thank God and all the kind and caring people who have given their time and money to make it possible for babies like Kaisen to be here today! Thanks so much for allowing me to hold my grandson in my arms!

Great video. I walk every year for my twins, for myself (preemie too) and in honor of my nephew who was sadly, stillborn. The March of Dimes is a wonderful cause

I have supported MOD for many years. My husband and I have been trying for 2.5 yr to have a precious baby unfortunately I have had 4 miscarriages. Only God knows why. Bless you to each family whose precious baby born early or with something wrong survives. God Blesses each one of you! GO MOD!

Thank you for sharing! Thank you walkers! My earliest premie is now 23 yrs old. She participated in a study when she was born that has helped in many ways since then. Thanks again for all you do March of Dimes, including the health care you provided then.
