Hello. I will be participating in March of Dimes WalkAmerica, the walk that has been saving babies for more than 30 years. I am walking to raise funds to support research and that could halt the escalating number of premature births - up 27% since 1981.
Did you know that premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death in the first month of life? It affects 1,305 babies a day in the United States. Those who survive may have lifelong health problems.
That is why I am asking you to support me in March of Dimes WalkAmerica. The March of Dimes is leading the way to find answers by supporting research into the causes of premature birth. I am joining the fight, and so can you.
Please sponsor me in March of Dimes WalkAmerica.
Thank you for your support.
Jessica
