This year with Paisley not being one, obviously was the first of many years to walk in the March of Dimes which is an amazing program to help premature babes. My team raised a little over $120...next year my goal is $200 (they offer free t shirts too if you can make this much). I intend to do this walk EVERY year for those who would like to join me in the walk or donate to worthwhile cause.
This year it was quite rainy and cold...but we still walked in it. I mean come on it was only 1.5 miles and so worth it. A memory that won't be forgotten! Thank you to those that helped support our PRECIOUS PAISLEY...she is a fighter and lived and baked little longer (from original 26 weeks to 33 weeks and 4 days) to be the healthy lil' girl she is today! I am so blessed for this lil' miracle. I met some heart touching stories and read shirts...it broke my heart to see those that had wings because I know that little one didn't make it. But there were miraculous stories like one who was born 15 weeks early weighing 15.5 ounces and is going strong and alive today. Or this other story about a set of twins where one of the sacks broke inside the mom and that one died instantly but its sister was born right away via emergency c section at 24 weeks weighing 1.2 lbs and is almost 3 years old and too is a fighter. Miracles to do happen...every day...and with our help through donation, prayers, faith...their can be a cure to helping some of the premature babies or those born with birth defects.
Before the walk...good looking bunch!
on the walk...we were close to the end...but we did it
this was the 75th year for march of dimes and Paisley was trying to eat her cupcake
