March for Babies

Lakeview College of Nursing
Students involved: P. Coleman, K. Lasco, J. McCann, & G. Zike

Striving to reduce the number of premature births, one step at a time.

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. We`re walking because we want to do something about this.
The money we raise will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.
The March of Dimes mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
