Now that I'm officially a WellStar Employee and can participate in some of the amazing (and fun) things that they do to try to help others out, I'm walking in their March Of Dimes 5K walk.
- Their mission is to help mothers have full term pregnancies and healthy
babies. - More than 450,000 babies are born too early every year.
(Thats every 1 of 9 babies.) Premature birth cost society more than $26 billion
per year and takes a high tole on families. - Premature birth is
the number one killer of newborns. - In 2003 March Of Dimes
launch their Prematurity campaign. - In 2008, they went global
with their campaign. - Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait
(HBWW) is a comprehensive initiative by the March Of Dimes to prevent
preventable preterm birth. - November is Prematurity Awareness
Month. (17th) - Since launching their National Prematurity
Campaign, preterm birth rates have reached a 10 - year low. - www.marchofdimes.com
