March For Babies




On Saturday my family will be walking for the March of Dimes in the Annual Walk for Babies (previously known as walk america). The March of Dimes found the benefits of surfactant which is one of the main reasons Bryn was able to recover so quickly.

The March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will support lifesaving research, services, education and advocacy that help babies get a healthy start. Bryn was born at 36 weeks gestation with immature lungs and Pnemonia. She was given 2 doses of Surfactant which helped her lungs develop. Surfactant research was funded by March of Dimes! Without this treatment Bryn would not be the healthy baby that she is today! Please help me support the March of Dimes by donating today!

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

If you would like to donate to this amazing organization or would like to walk with us on Saturday please visit http://www.marchforbabies.org/brynstephens
