Join the Kesler Crew in support of the March of Dimes

Seth, Paul, & Clay (L to R)

The Kesler Crew has joined March for Babies because the March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will help:

- support all-important research offering preventions and solutions for babies born too soon or with birth defects

- educate women on things they can do to increase their chances of having a healthy baby

- provide comfort and information to families with a newborn in intensive care

- push for newborn screening and health insurance for all pregnant women and children
Please help by donating today!

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. I encourage you to look back in our blog and follow our journey while our babies were in the NICU. http://keslercrew.blogspot.com/2008/01/meet-our-boys-born-january-3-2008.html We know that our boys would not have had such wonderful and top notch care while in the NICU without research and donations from the March of Dimes organization. Please click on the link posted above and see how far our boys have progressed over the last 14 months - we are SO amazed!

Unfortunately, there are lots of babies born every day that are not as healthy as our boys were. We are walking for our babies and well as those that need support now, tomorrow, or months from now. We know that these are tough times in the economy, but if you feel like you can find a way to help support a great organization we would love to have your support as the Kesler Crew takes this walk on Saturday, May 2.

There is a button on the side bar of this blog page where you can donate as little or as much as you would like, should you feel that you can. We would greatly appreciate as would other families that are or will be in need. In addition, if you would like to join our team in this walk we would love to have you there. :)

Please feel free to contact Hope directly if you have any questions. Thanks you in advance for any help and support that you may be able to provide!

I don't know if you will read this since it is such an old post but kudos to you with the march of dimes. My son was a micro preemie (born at 25 weeks and 2 days at 1lb 15 oz) and it always makes me smile whenever I see healthy looking preemies :) Have fun with your boys!
