It's that time of year again. Our family team, the Patton Preemies, will once again be participating in the March of Dimes annual event, March for Babies, on Saturday, April 25th. This year, the event is going to be downtown. Our team will be there in full force with an expected 40+ people walking as part of our team. Many of you know that this event --as well as the March of Dimes -- is very near to our hearts, so we would love for you to join us and show your support!
If you can't attend, but would love to support us in another way, please consider making a donation to our team. You can do so HERE. I know times are tough financially for most people, so even if you can only give $5, your donation WILL make a difference. We've set our family team goal at $6,000. We've currently raised $3,755, so we will still have a ways to go before Monday, April 20th.
If you've just recently had a baby or know someone who has, think of how different your life would be if that baby was still in the hospital, fighting for life every day. That was our reality three years ago. Each day brought new struggles, but also new successes. We didn't know if we would ever bring the girls home. I wasn't even brave enough to take the tags off of any of their new clothes or the bedding for their cribs until days before we brought them home for fear that we wouldn't. The March of Dimes is a HUGE part of the reason the girls are alive and well today, as well as hundreds of thousands of other babies around the world. Who knows what other discoveries there are to be made to help other babies like Cadence and Madeline? The only way we will ever know is if we continue to fund research that makes a difference.
Thank you all for your support over the past three years. We formed our team just two weeks after the girls were born in 2006. Since then, we've raised nearly $22,000 as a family team! Our success is due to the continued generosity and support you've shown our family and we'll never be able to fully express our gratitude.
Thank You!
