On Sunday, April 25th, I will be walking in the March of Dimes March for Babies. The March for Babies helps raise money to prevent birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. This walk is doubly special because two of my co-workers, Sarah and Kyle, have seen the miracles this organization can provide. Below is their story and a picture of Will, their son.
"At 19 weeks Sarah went in for a high risk scan because she was pregnant with twins. Sarah and her husband, Kyle, found out the twins had a rare disease called Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome and she was put on bed rest. After many exams and procedures, Sarah delivered Will and Jack via emergency C-section at 26 weeks, and both boys weighed under 2 lbs. The boys struggled to survive and sadly Jack passed away 2 days after he arrived on this earth. Will spent 224 in the NICU and thanks in part to research by the March of Dimes he is a healthy, energetic 2 year old."
