WalkAmerica is now March for Babies

Since Catharine was 16 weeks early, her eyes were fused shut and she fought for every breath, facing daily challenges caused by a heart defect, bleeding in her brain, jaundice and a heart murmur.

I think that bears repeating...

Since Catharine was 16 weeks early, her eyes were fused shut and she fought for every breath, facing daily challenges caused by a heart defect, bleeding in her brain, jaundice and a heart murmur.

Catharine Aboulhouda the 2008 March of Dimes National Ambassador "is (now) a healthy 5-year-old with the energy of a firecracker — she loves singing, reading with her grandparents and swimming with her brother Michael." Catharine is testament to the remarkable work of the March of Dimes & the health care professionals** supported by the new March for Babies (formerly WalkAmerica).

**Mostly Catharine is testament to herself and the incredible strength and will of our littlest ones -- won't you help them (over 120,000) this year by walking in one of the March for Babies in your town...you can't miss it one! March for Babies, WalkStrong.

Our cousin Nadia has my phone number..Please have our father to call me...Hope to hear from you, Farrah Aboulhouda McClung.
