Presidents
Presidents
have always supported the March of Dimes and its mission to improve the
health of America’s youngest citizens, including Barack Obama who met
with Board of Trustees Chair LaVerne H. Council, and March of Dimes
president Dr. Jennifer L. Howse.
Ronald
Reagan met with Scott Cunningham, the March of Dimes National Ambassador
who underwent advanced surgery immediately after birth to close his
spine.
John F.
Kennedy, whose own son Patrick was born prematurely and later died from
breathing problems, welcomed Linda Breese to the White House. The March
of Dimes poster child suffered disabilities caused by spina bifida.
Franklin
D. Roosevelt, himself stricken with polio, showed sincere concern for
children at the rehab center he created in Warm Springs, Ga.
