What Charity do you support? Please tell us more about your involvement?
I support March of Dimes. Both my two children were born preemie at 2 lbs. They spent months in a NICU before I could bring them home. I watch parents like me struggle to be there every day with them and worried if they will survive being born so early. March of Dimes provides resources and financial support for the babies and families. Once a year parents get together to March and spread awareness.
