Reply #81: Thank you, but it's not about us anymore...

It's about the many families out there just begining to face the struggles that we endured, and continue to deal with on a daily basis. From the NICU's, the march of dimes is reaching out to these families. Providing access to information and resources that were never there just a few short years ago. And from the antenatal maternity wards, they funding education and research to help those mothers keep their children in longer.

We were so fortunate not to loose both of our sons. Without the miricles of modern day science, I would have two angels today - instead of one. I know that the March of Dimes was there for us when we really needed them. And I would hate to see others endure what we did - but if they have to, it would be worse if they had to do it alone! Just the tiniest mistake can mean life or death, development or disaster for these precious babies.

My surviving son weighed a mere 1lb 1oz at birth - my angel weighed 1lb 5oz... The weak do survive with help, and donating to MOD is a way to help!
