Minnesota

My name is Nicole and I am a lead teacher at a Children's World in Roseville, Minnesota. We are currently doing a fundraiser for March of Dimes including the walk. I thought it might be easier for the kids to understand what the campaign is all about if we were able to share a specific story about a family and new baby in need of March of Dimes. Please let me now if there is a possibility of this happening. Thank you. Nicole

The best option would be to contact the office closest to you. They have families who give speeches for just this type of thing!
Thank you, from the mom of a preemie, for donating to the March if Dimes. I think it would be fun for your coworkers to form a Walk America team. It can be a very fun, rewarding experience. I wish you the very best!

We're from NW Minnesota. My hubby is stationed out of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Air Force Base. You're welcome to share our story if you would like. Share has helped us tremendously. Our daughter (Madi) was stillborn, but it's what brought us to Share and got us more involved with the March of Dimes. I know there is a fetal camera (fetoscope) for detecting Madi's situation, but it's still an experimental procedure and is only offered in large medical facilities. One day it will be used as a standard procedure; I'm almost certain.

We're just getting started with our fundraising for the walk. Good luck with yours.

Here's Madi's Story:
