March for Babies

Come walk with us!

When: Saturday, April 26th

Where: Shelby Farms

Who: The WHOLE Family

What: March for Babies -5 mile walk

Did you know that. . . Among the 60 largest cities in America, Memphis recorded the highest rate of infant mortality in 2005. At 14 infant deaths per 1,000 births, this is twice the national average. Last year, 1 out of 8 babies were born prematurely making it the leading cause of newborn death and many disabilities. March for Babies (formerly WalkAmerica) is the largest fundraising event for the March of Dimes.


As if that were not enough to make you wanna come out and walk with us how about this...

• Because right now, premature birth touches half a million babies and their families every year
• Because babies born too soon are more likely to die, or have lifelong disabilities
• Because 120,000 babies are born with serious birth defects every year
• Because nearly 4,000 premature babies each year will not live to celebrate their first birthday
• Because every baby deserves someone in their corner

The March of Dimes is here for ALL babies

those born healthy and

those that need help to survive and thrive.

Marcus, Kaylee and I would love for ANYONE and EVERYONE to join us THIS SATURDAY MORNING (I know it is really late notice, sorry). We will be at Shelby Farms ready to walk for this wonderful cause and we would love for you to come too! Registration is at 8am, at the Shelby Farms Pavilion, when you sign up list Marcus as your team captain. Anyone who comes out counts as a walker, even babies in strollers, so bring out the whole family. We will be walking 5 miles. No donations are required to walk with us; however, FedEx will be selling t-shirts for $10 each, with the profits going to March for Babies campaign of the Mid South (all the money stays here to help families in the Mid South). Your efforts to support this event will help save babies.

Come walk in honor of all the babies in your life!

Hope to see you there!

If you need more detailed info let me know.

If you will be able to come out on Saturday give me a call.
