Kmart, Jillian Michaels, March for Infants and Your Chance
Ladies, this is a article that is sponsored . Rest assured, all comments are my own.
When my twin girls were born 23 decades ago (today, really, is their birthday!) , they were seven weeks early. We were fortunate: the women were healthy given the conditions. They were weak and skinny, but their hospital stay only lasted seven days.
Other families are not as fortunate. Births can wreak havoc on a family. The newborn struggles to live, and also the parents suffer through days. It’s for those that are planning for kids in the long run, and all these households, that the March of Dimes organization works to support.
March of Dimes for Healthy Babies
Did you know? March of Dimes helps expecting mothers deliver healthy babies, and provides a support community for the mothers who do not. The crucial work being done by this organization has led to seven decades straight of reduced preterm births at the U.S.. Our health care system has been spared an estimated $12 billion in health care costs as a outcome.
Each spring, March of Dimes organizes annual March for Babies walks in communities across the U.S.. The walks raise funds and bring neighbors together to support our newborns’ health.
Kmart & Jillian Michaels Show Their Service
