BELIEVE ACHIEVE Team
On Saturday, April 18th 2009, we joined hundreds of Fresno community residents (MORE than a Million nationwide!) in the March for Babies Event. Together, we marched in honor of our Miracle Mia, born at 28 weeks, and the many little fighters who are born too soon.
This fundraising event brought the community together and gave hope to families and babies effected by the challenges of premature birth. The money we raised supports programs in our community and funds vital research to prevent premature births, birth defects and infant mortality.
It's because of organizations like the March of Dimes many more babies are born healthy and premature ones are given a fighting chance. Our Miracle Mia, along with tens of thousands of babies born very prematurely have survived because of research funded by their organization, including the development of artificial surfactant.
Miracle Mia received surfactant therapy on her weak and underdeveloped lungs due to respiratory distress syndrome. This therapy and vital research development had drastically increased her chances for a future. Now, Miracle Mia has a chance to inspire many by telling her story one day. And we Thank the March of Dimes for their amazing work in making it possible.
And we also Thank the many people who continue to share the vision of "One day....All babies will be born healthy."
Thank you so much to all our Family and Friends who marched along side us and helped in raising money for this incredible cause. Thank you to all our supporters, sponsors and cheerleaders. It takes all of us to Make a Difference. And together, we have achieved just that. The world is a beautiful place because of all of you.
We are ever so Grateful.
Many Blessings....

Hugo and Roxanne, thank you for the good work that you are doing for the children. My brothers daughter was a premy's, she is now in collage and doing good. My sisters twin boys were premy's, they will be 6 in November. They are doing good. The hospitals that helped them did a great job in caring for them. We are greatly blessed to have medical care that we have today. Have a great day.

Mia's story is very inspiring, I have a friend who's nephew was born premature almost 3 weeks ago, I'll suggest they contact the local March of Dimes. I'm glad the march was a huge success.
ReplyDeleteThank God for organizations like March of Dimes!
Blessings for health & happiness,
Susie

Hi Susie,
ReplyDeleteYour friend's nephew is in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing this with us. If your friends' family needs anyone to speak to for support, please don't hesitate giving them our contact info. Having a child in the NICU can be difficult and stressful. It's always wonderful to speak to those who have shared experiences.
Thank you so much for your comment. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Many Blessings....
