THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! IF YOU HAVE NOT DONATED AND WOULD LIKE TO, YOU STILL HAVE TIME!!

Dear Family and Friends, As most of you know Jennifer and I had two premature babies (Aiden 4lb 7oz and Austin 2lb 13oz). We have been extremely blessed and wanted to get involved in March of Dimes to show our thanks and support for all of the professional that helped take care of our babies. Aiden spent 32 days in NICU (Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit) and Austin spent 50 Days. We are truly blessed and thank you for your support through it all. Now we ask you to support us one more time, not necessarily for our boys, but for the babies of tomorrow and the future. Every year, half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds we raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives.
