Marchin' for the Wee Ones

So I've been talking a good bit about my friends Tara & Trey Warrick and the upcoming event they're putting on, Scouting for Hope that happens on October 1.

On October 2nd, we'll all be gathering at Shelby City Park to participate in the March for Babies, which is a project of the March of Dimes. The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

I'd love it if you'd join me to raise funds for the research March of Dimes accomplishes throughout the year. Funds raised in the March for Babies support research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And they will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.

As Tara & Trey have learned to navigate life as parents without a living a child, they've been surprised to discover just how many other parents there are like them. Pregnancy doesn't always go easily, and it isn't always joyful. That's not fair. It's not fair that Tara and countless other women will always feel worry over pregnancy rather than elation. The research funded by March for Babies aims to change the future, making healthy pregnancies and healthy babies a more constant reality.
