Dear Friend,
It's WalkAmerica Season!
WalkAmerica has come a long way since the first one in 1970. It has grown to involve more than a million people a year in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. Our mission has become even more urgent as the number of premature babies born in the U.S. continues to rise. This year, more than half a million babies will be born too early, an increase of 31 percent since 1981.
Contributions from walkers like you help the March of Dimes fund research into the causes of premature birth and birth defects and provide programs that help women have healthier pregnancies.
Please consider joining us in WalkAmerica, the walk that saves babies.
