Aloha Friends & Family,
We're excited to be a part of March for Babies this year.
This is our very first year participating with the March of Dimes, March for Babies event as we walk in honor our twin babies, Arianna & Brianna Tam. Our twin girls that were born on February 4, 2012, at only 23 weeks gestation, due to pre-term labor. Our little girls gently grew their angel wings on February 6, 2012 due to various complications associated with being born premature.
Sadly, every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. So we're walking because we want to do something about this. The money we raise will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.
This first-hand experience has not only opened our eyes to this world, but has given us a greater appreciation for life and the importance of supporting organizations like the March of Dimes.
Please help our team reach our goal by joining / making a donation as well as spreading the word.... We hope to give ALL babies a healthy start!
