Shaye 1 day old, 3lbs 1/2 oz, 16 inches

Today in the U.S., 1 in every 8 babies will be born prematurely. Some of them won't survive, and others will have health problems that could last a lifetime. The funds we raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives.

I have a condition that makes any of my pregnancies have pre-term labor and all of my babies will come out small. Shaye was born 4 weeks & 1 day early on June 2, 2004. She weighed 3 lbs 1/2 oz and was 16 inches long. She was in the NICU for 1 month and 3 days. We are some of the lucky ones because Shaye doesn't have any long term disabilities.. She's a little short (lol) but she breathes, walks, talks and sees just fine.. She's now 4 and a wonderful little helper. She is extremely creative, coming up with silly Shaye stories.

Please think of Shaye and all the other babies of the world born prematurely before turning away from WalkAmerica. You just may save a life!

Thanks all for helping!

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

Your gift will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.
