Walkers raise $150,000 for March of Dimes
WORCESTER— Edwin K. Rodriguez of Worcester holds his daughter, Serena L. Rodriguez, who was prematurely born, at the start of the March of Dimes WalkAmerica yesterday. Not shown in the photo are Rodriguez’s wife, Stephanie L. Rodriguez, and Serena’s twin, Edwin K. Rodriguez Jr. Hundreds of people converged on City Hall Common for the walk, a fundraising event to benefit issues of baby health. Participants navigated a 3-1/2-mile route in and around downtown, including Shrewsbury and Belmont streets, before gathering on the Common for music and food. Organizers say about 800 walkers helped raise about $150,000. Worcester’s march was one of eight in Massachusetts over a two-week span. Across the country, there will be 1,100 such fundraising events for the March of Dimes.

We had an amazing day. We walked in the WalkAmerica March of Dimes in our home city. We dressed the kids up and headed out into the beautiful weather. Everyone commented on how beautiful they are...we agree!
We are WAAAAY too cute!

Champ slept through most of the walk...thank goodness...he is getting heavy!
Serena was held through almost the entire walk. She loved looking around!
I LOVE it outside!!!

And again
We passed by the NICU on our walk, and talked to the nurses and neonatologists standing outside. It was hot and too sunny and the kids needed diaper changes and some lunch, so we decided not to finish the walk but to go into the NICU for some rest, shade, and a visit.

It was so fun to FINALLY enjoy the nice weather with Serena and Edwin...we can't wait to do it again soon!
Hey everyone thought we were so cute
Yeah...we're pretty amazing

Thanks for letting me know about the link, I think I have fixed it now! I will post pictures soon, I got a new computer a few weeks ago, and I can't use my old pix program anymore. So I have to learn how to post pictures all over again ;(
Jon, my rock, makes it possible for me to do all the things I do. Without his constant support and help I would have gone crazy a long time ago.
We will be walking to save babies a week from Saturday... our team is small, but every penny counts! We are just $155 away from our team goal! If anyone is interested in donating, please visit our team web page at: http://www.walkamerica.org/s_team_page.asp?seid=393149
