...Until Being Strong is Your ONLY Option!"
On April 17th, we will be walking with Central Dupage Hospital for the 3rd year in a row for the March of Dimes walk. By this point, most know our story with Abigail being born 2 months early weighing 3lbs and our experience with the NICU at Central Dupage Hospital We are forever grateful to all those involved in the healthy arrival of our daughter.
This year we have decided to make our donations more personal to our own story.
Rob and I donated $60 because 60 was the number of days early Abigail was born.
We do not ask our family and friends for donations. It's just not our thing.
But if someone is interested in donating to the cause, we are asking that you donate $29 because 29 is the number of days Abigail spent in the NICU. It's in honor of our little fighter, Abigail, and the nurses and doctors who spent 29 days watching over our daughter!
March of Dimes affects so many people. We have met GREAT friends in the NICU. I also have some friends from college who also have had extremely early preemies. One of my friends, Erin, had twins 2 months early. She is a big supporter of March of Dimes and it was actually her idea that I "borrowed" with making our donations more personal.
We look forward to the walk, to seeing old friends and some of the nurses who watched over Abigail, and to celebrating our 2 beautiful, healthy girls!!!!
