3 days until we walk

Well it's almost here, the 2008 March for Babies. For me, it's a day of remembrance...a day to remember how blessed we are that both our 23 weekers survived and are happy and coming along health wise and developmentally. It's a day to remember all those we've lost as a result of prematurity...including our niece Keiry. It's a day to make sure everyone who hasn't been directly affected by prematurity, realizes the epidemic that it truly is; with its significant ramifications for us all.
Your generosity has really touched us. We have surpassed our goal, and hope we can raise even more money over these next couple of days. We are raising money to support research that will hopefully uncover the causes of prematurity and help women carry their babies to term. We are raising money to help fund research that will save babies lives. And for me personally, it makes me feel like I am doing something, however small, to perhaps ensure that another family will never have to experience the heartbreak of witnessing their children cling to life, and live with the effects of their early birth forever. We are so incredibly thankful for Serena and Edwin, but prematurity has vastly changed all of our lives. We hope that the March of Dimes will continue to research with he hope that one day all babies will be born healthy.
So thank you all who have donated to Team Serena and Edwin, Jr. Thank you to all who will be walking with us this Sunday. And if you haven't donated and would like to, you can donate online at www.marchforbabies.org/494589.

Thank you all for your support!
