March For Babies this year is at a very special time for my family. The walk is April 30th, which is the day 8 years ago that Eric, Levi and Vivian were concieved. Of course, following that was a very short 5 1/2 months of pregnancy and then we were thrust headlong into the world of Micro-Preemie care.
Let me tell you: This is a waaaaaaay different world than any other. A world of wires and tubes, good and bad news, joy and sorrow, miracles and let downs, the most "extreme" that I believe anything could be...
During our NICU stay with our Micropreemies we saw grea sadness and great joy. We were not the only family to lose a baby in that unit, and sadly, those losses are still happeneing today.
But - because of the research that the March of Dimes helps to fund, those losses can be stopped...
Please, CLICK HERE to donate in Eric Jr's name. Or CLICK HERE to join our team an walk with us this year!
This year we added our angel to our team - although not here on earth with us, he walks with us everyday, alwas in our hearts. what diference can WE make in 28 days? Because I'll tell you what - HE made a world of difference in his 28 days on this earth.
Join us, walk with us, donate to our team or an individual walker! Make a diffrence in the life of a Premature baby, please!

Join us to save babies!!! March for Babies 2010!!
It's time!! I'm so excited! This year my goal is to have a great big team and show just how important the March of Dimes is and how great the work that they do is!
April 24th at 8am is the walk here in Vancouver...It's usually a little cold, sometimes a little rainy, but always a ton of fun! Hopefully this year we will walk faster: last year and I think even the year before we were the very last people to cross the 10K finish line! Trekking along with all the kids, last year there were 5 kids under 6 with us, is not a fast process!
If you don't know about the March of Dimes, check them out here. Learn more about the March for babies here. If it weren't for the work that the March of Dimes Levi and Vivian, and millions of other babies would not be here on this earth with us. From the beginning of the organization; collecting dimes to fight and eventually find a cure for Polio, to present day when grants, community funding and community teaching fight against prematurity and also save the smallest, most fragile babies.
