I am walking (and selling) to get there

There are just about 30 days until the annual March of Dimes March for Babies and I have introduced a few new MOD inspired items to my shop.

As a preemie parent I am very aware of the bittersweet experience of bringing a child into the world too soon. One out of eight babies is born too soon and my daughter Ava just happened to be that one. Sadly, those statistics are rising each year with more and more babies not getting their full 40 weeks.

No parent should ever have to go through what thousands of parents like us have to go through when their baby is born too soon. No mother should be left in her hospital bed with empty arms while her baby is fighting to live in the NICU. No parent should ever have to wait days or even weeks just to hold their newborn baby. But sadly some parents have to and that is why I walk each year.

I walk so that the March of Dimes can continue to make progress in the fight against prematurity. I walk so that all babies will one day be born healthy. I walk for my daughter. And I'm selling with 100% proceeds to make that possible.

See my shop under the "Charity" tab for accessories to support this life-saving fund. Please join me so that we make a difference for all babies to come.

♥ And thank you to all who have supported my fundraising efforts! Your support will not be forgotten!
