Help Premature Babies

By Laurie | April 8, 2008

I’ve asked for help while fundraising for my Breast Cancer 3-Day this year, but I also wanted to mention that my college friend, Lorrella, is also participating in a walk and is looking for sponsors. I sent out a mass e-mail asking for help, and she answered despite having her own fundraising to do.

Her cause is the March of Dimes march for babies. She was a premature baby, so this event is close to her heart. Did you know that 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 raised during this event support research that saves babies’ lives.

She is also giving away cute rubber duckies for those that donate. If this is a cause that is close to your heart, please help her if you can. She was very generous and donated to my walk, and I would also like to help her reach her goal in return.
