According to the March of Dimes report on premature births, nearly 13 million babies worldwide are born prematurely each year. This means about 9.6 percent of all babies born experience a preterm birth. Half a million of these premature births are in the United States. More than one million premature babies die each year, and those who are lucky enough to survive often face serious health challenges and risk lifelong disabilities.
On Tuesday, November 17th, you can show your support for March of Dimes Fight for Preemies by blogging about a baby you love, or blogging about prematurity to help raise awareness about premature births. The Fight for Preemies is being organized by Bloggers Unite and the March of Dimes to raise awareness of the crisis of premature birth. Bloggers are invited to get involved by spreading the word about the Fight for Preemies and to post a blog on November 17th (remember that November is Prematurity Awareness Month). We invite and encourage everyone who reads our blog to either blog about a preemie today, or leave a comment in this post on how you’ve been touched by a preemie, whether it’s Max and Wes, or another precious baby (or babies).

I just wanted to thank you for this info. I follow your blog frequently and love watching your boys grow. I copied some of your info to my blog in honour of a good friend’s baby girl born on Nov 7th at only 25weeks and 1 days. She has a long fight ahead of her, but we are praying for her. Thanks again for the info.

Jeff & Kerry:
On behalf of the March of Dimes, thanks for helping us tell everyone about the problem of prematurity and our fight to end it.
Your boys Max and Wes are wonderful! The March of Dimes is fighting for them and for every baby born too soon.
With best wishes,
Pam

Thank you for remembering Drew and Regan. We just celebrated their first birthday and it was overwhelming to think about how far they have come. Just think – it was only a year ago you were in town and got to hold them in the hospital.
