March for the Babies...

With Kenley arriving early and spending so much time in the hospital, it seems only natural that the March of Dimes is now a cause I hold near and dear to my heart.  I had always heard of the March of Dimes and seen their cute little posters up but of course because I didn't have any babies at the time, much less a baby that needed medical help, then I never payed them much mind.  Things have changed in a year...needless to say.


I will be walking on April 30th in honor of my sweet girl and all the babies that are born too early or too sick to fight on their own.  Without the March of Dimes, I'm not entirely sure my girl would be here with us today.  They have done such great things in the past, oh I'd say, 10 years to ensure that our little ones that are born too early or weak are given a fighting chance.  I plan on walking in this event from every year here on out, until I can't walk anymore at least!


I would LOVE ALL the support I can get.  Whether its by having you join my team to come walk with me on that day or even being able to make a small donation to the March of Dimes.  I have set my team goal at $700 but feel pretty confident that I'll be able to raise much more than that for this wonderful organization.  You can view my teams website on the home page of my blog.  The link is at the top...right under the picture of Kenley and myself...and its labled as March for the Babies.  It takes you right to my page where you can sign up to walk with me...and by the way I would LOVE for anyone that is in the area and that is free that day to join my team and help represent the Kenley girl by joining me for the walk...or you can make a donation.  Please know that either way Kenley, Jim and myself appreciate however you can help.  Even if it's only being with us in spirit on that day.





Thank you for supporting us in our first "March for the Babies"!!  Here's to hoping that on that day, Kenley will be able to "March" a few of the steps by herself!!
