Thank you for helping make March for Babies 2013 amazing!

This year’s Philadelphia March for Babies was a beautiful day! The sky was a pretty blue and no rain! I truly hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did. All of your family team t-shirts were great designs; including Team Kaitlyn’s “Fight Like a Girl” with the 75^th anniversary seal on the front, Kickin’ It for Christopher and Just for Jenna with the creative logo. I want to especially congratulate our t-shirt design winner, Miss Kerry Anderson of Team Abby!

Some of my favorite memories from the day were seeing the sea of matching t-shirts for the enormous family teams like In Mary’s Memory and SMPS Preemie Power, meeting new teams like Baby Grayson’s Gang, Angels of Amelia and catching up with veteran teams like Team Jameson, Claudia’s Tagalongs, Duffy’s Angels, Running with the Sharks and CC Riders.

Of course, most of all, I enjoyed a special moment standing with my family and especially my little miracles - Jack & Lucy! Thanks to our family & friends for always supporting us! My family has been blessed to have been a part of March for Babies for six years now. It has become our family tradition to thank March of Dimes for saving Jack and Lucy’s lives! We haven’t reached our goal of $7,500 for the March of Dimes 75^th Anniversary yet but we’re not giving up. We took the challenge to exceed our 2013 goal as part of our Be your Best campaign. Just like our family, most family teams at the walk have endured a tragic experience and want to ensure that no family has go through what we went through. That is why I truly believe every family team can exceed their goal so that we can fund our mission.

What are your favorite memories from March for Babies Day??

Please email me some special moments you experienced on MFB day along with a couple of pictures of your team. I always enjoy hearing your feedback and looking at your pictures every year. There are so many of you who I did not get to connect with on walk day and I would love to hear from you! We are always improving our processes every year, so please give us feedback on what you thought worked well this year and areas we can improve. We value your input!

Thank you to all of the people that made the Family Teams Tent & Kids Zone possible!

Special thanks to Lowe’s for supplying us with fun kids projects to build in the Family Teams tent. They’re planning on coming back next year with even more kits and staff so the lines and wait won’t be as long.
