Making A Difference

I just wanted to thank all of you who donated to the March of Dimes! Emalyn raised $564 - which is $100 more than she raised in 2008!
I'm so excited and I hope that we do this each year!

Emalyn is raising money for the March of Dimes Northeast Arkansas March for Babies, coming up on Saturday, April 25th at Craighead Forest Park.

Almost all of us know someone affected by premature birth or a birth defect. Today, 1 in 8 babies in the United States is born too early and 1 in 22 children is affected by one or more birth defects.

The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. The organization’s mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. The mission is carried out through research, community services, education and advocacy. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threats to their health: prematurity, birth defects and low birthweight.

We are raising critical dollars for research to give all babies a healthy start in life. We want to help further this research as well as research on many critical issues, such as Down Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, Cerebral Palsy and Autism. Your donation, even if it's just change, can make a difference.

Please reach in your pocket and support research that saves babies. Donations are tax deductible.
