Next Sunday, April 26th, Tavio's Team will join thousands of compassionate teams across the country that support March for Babies. Our family knows firsthand the challenges associated with prematurity. As most of you know, Tavio was born May 2, 2008 at 27 weeks, weighing 1 lb, 15 oz and measuring 14 ¼ inches long. He spent 94 days in the NICU at the UCONN Medical Center. Today, Tavio is a healthy, energetic bundle of joy. He is Our Little Miracle! The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. It is important to find out why premature birth happens and what can be done to prevent it. By raising money, ongoing research to answer these critical questions is funded. More information about Tavio's Team can be found at http://www.marchforbabies.org/649668.
I'm very excited...My Mom and Dad are going to push me in my stroller for 4 miles.
I get to sit back and relax! I might even take a nap!
Will you join my team?
I'll be wearing my sneakers - teeth marks and all!
