Help Prevent Premature Births!

November is Prematurity Awareness Month



Every day 1 in 8 babies born in the U.S. arrives too soon. Premature birth can happen to any pregnant woman, and no one knows why. It is a serious, common and costly problem. The March of Dimes is leading the campaign to reduce premature birth by supporting research and by educating the public and health care providers.

I never thought in a million years that I would have a premature baby. Now, here I am, going through it a second time and still not knowing why. November is Prematurity Awareness Month. Please help make a difference by donating to the March of Dimes in Riley’s name to help raise awareness and support research efforts. Every little bit helps!
