Tomorrow team March for Maddie will be participating in the March for Babies for the fifth year in a row – our fourth walk without her.

The march is something that’s very important to our family, to both remember and honor Maddie, and to help other families going through the same thing we experienced four and a half years ago when we learned there were complications with Madeline’s pregnancy.

The March of Dimes has funded research that’s lead to countless strides in the fight against prematurity. They won’t stop until every child is born healthy. We won’t stop, either.

Like last year, I am again posting my speech from the 2009 March for Babies. Maddie passed away barely three weeks prior to the walk. I still can’t watch this footage. But I hope all of you can take a few minutes to watch it, maybe for the first time, or maybe for the third, and remember all the babies out there that were taken too soon because they were born too soon.
