It’s that time of year again!
It’s almost kick-off time for March for Babies. Because I’m interning at the March of Dimes this semester, I’m getting a jump start on fundraising while I work out some interesting (and hopefully fun!) incentives for family teams to raise more money, and perhaps for donors who donate a certain amount. So, without further ado, [...]
National Fight for Preemies Day
Today is National Fright for Preemies Day. If you’ve read my blog at all, you probably know by now that we have 3 preemie children, 2 of whom were micro preemies. If you don’t know our story, here is the short version (search my blog for the full story. I’ve posted it before, though it’s [...]
Prematurity Awareness Month
It’s November 3rd and I nearly forgot to change my blog theme to reflect that this is Prematurity Awareness Month! I don’t have much time since I have to head to class in a few minutes. But, I wanted to make sure I told you all, in case you forgot or didn’t know Sphere: Related [...]
March of Dimes March for Babies
Sunday was the March of Dimes March for Babies. It was a beautiful walk along the Erie Canal. Altogether, I’d say it was a much better walk than last year. More organized, more entertainment, more food, much better location. It was much harder to fundraise this year, though. That was my downfall. But as the [...]
91 days left
It’s that time of year again…the time of year where I start fundraising for the March of Dimes March for Babies. There are 91 days left until my walk on May 3rd and my goal is $500. I think that’s completely doable in 3 months, don’t you? I am once again the co-chair for the [...]
November is Prematurity Awareness month
As you can see from my blog design, it’s Prematurity Awareness month again. It started last weekend, obviously, but I’ve had so much going on that I haven’t had a chance to post anything about it. I also made a new banner for the occasion. The small inset banner in the middle is supposed to [...]
What a success!
I have to say that I am so super impressed with how Rochester does their walk! They had music, a bounce-around, Home Depot Kids Workshops, crafts for the kids, pizza and hot dogs afterwards, Starbucks coffee, donuts, clowns, face painting and more! I did a little spiel about why I got involved with the MOD [...]
March for Babies is tomorrow!
As the co-chair for the Mission Family teams here in Rochester, I get to give a quick 2-3 minute “speech” about why I got involved in the March of Dimes. That should be fun. I guess I’ll get over my fear of public speaking real quick, huh? DH will be moblogging, so look for random [...]
There’s still time to donate
I know that many of the March of Dimes Walk for Babies events have taken place, or will take place tomorrow, but there’s still time to donate if you haven’t yet. Brian, the boys and I will be walking in our even a week from tomorrow. If you’d like to donate, you can click on [...]

I am very excited. Today, I met with the senior community director for New York State Chapter Genesee Valley/Finger Lakes Division of the March of Dimes. Darcy is wonderful! She asked me if I would be willing to be the co-chair for the divisions family mission teams! I gladly accepted, of course. They are so [...]
