Every year more than 7200 babies are born prematurely in Minnesota. $1.8 million was raised statewide on 4/29/12. It will go toward research and programs aimed at helping parents have healthy, full-term babies. I am so proud to say that we were a part of that, and that I have so many family and friends who were able to support us! Through your support, we raised $685!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
We had a great day. The weather cooperated (finally - this is the 6th time we have walked, and, I think, only the 2nd time with good weather)!! Leah, Amber and I walked with my mom, Tiffanie, Thea, Delila, Sara, Michael and Joshua. Ahead of us, but with us as a team - Jaclyn and Nicole! Michael, Thea, and Leah walked the entire time with Delila walking and taking a break in the wagon from time to time! They did so great. So proud of all of them. Amber was also very well behaved as she enjoyed the walk from her stroller! In the last segment of the walk, they had posters with different baby's stories, I would guess at least 20 - maybe more. The kids stopped and looked at everyone of them. I really think they are starting to understand why we do this walk!
