South Bend, Indiana Charity | March of Dimes
I have been asked a lot lately why I chose to support March of Dimes instead of a special needs charity like Logan Center to support children like my son. First of all, my son was affected by the March of Dimes, just like every other child. The March of Dimes raises money to research how a woman can have a healthy pregnancy and how a baby can have a healthy start, even if they are premature. I am a mother and I want more women to have the chance that I have with Bryce. Yes, his disorder can be tough at times, but I would take his small disorder over the challenges these courageous families face by having a premature birth.
My main reason is my grand-daughter (Insert gasps here). Chris’ oldest son, Christopher, and his wife, Jaymee, were expecting their second child and in June 2009, Jaymee went in for her ultra sound to find out if she was having a boy or a girl, but her baby girl didn’t have a heart beat and they had to induce her. Our family has experienced the heartbreak that I don’t want anyone else to have to go through. By supporting the March of Dimes, I am confidant that I can help make a difference to help more babies make it to their first birthday.
