Every day, thousands of
babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. Our
youngest son, Finn was born 14 weeks too soon. He was born last October at 26
weeks gestation weighing in at a fragile 1 pound 14 ounces, and 13 inches long.

The mission of March of Dimes
is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth
and infant mortality. Our family believes passionately in this mission,
and we have formed a walking team named “Finn’s Fans” that will
participate in the Stillwater March for Babies. There is a small purple bucket
in my office (325E WLLD)
where you can drop your dimes (or other spare change) to help Finn’s Fans meet our fundraising goals – and
see pictures of Finn throughout the last year. For more information about
the walk (which is taking place on October 6, 2012, one year and one day after
our son was born), visit our March for Babies Team Page.
Thank you for helping us give
all babies a healthy start!
Funds raised in March for
Babies support research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies
and babies begin healthy lives. And they will be used to bring comfort and
information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.
