March of Dimes

I will be completely honest when I say that just over 3 years ago, I had NO clue what the March of Dimes was. Very sad, but true statement. I had heard of it, but didn't know any specifics. So because of that and our precious miracles, I tell everyone about the March of Dimes!

I am honored to say that this year we were chosen to be the Montgomery County March of Dimes Ambassador Family to help others learn more about what this great organization has done for us and continues to do for others. We give complete glory and honor to our Heavenly Father for the miracle of life that we witness every day, including our oldest daughter, Reagan, who was healthy from the get go. But we also know that there are wonderful, intelligent people that have used their God given abilities to help premature babies survive unlike they used to. Just as doctors and nurses told us in the NICU, 20 years ago, our babies would have had minimal chance of survival because of the lack of research and meds compared to today. Here you will find some of the very important research that March of Dimes has done with the money donated! http://www.marchforbabies.org/whereyourmoneygoes.aspx?link=42698Title

We would love for those that live near to join us on Sunday, April 26th for the March For Babies walk. It's a great time for the whole family! It's an easy 3 mile walk through the college campus and you can bring your strollers and wagons for the kids. This is our chance to thank March of Dimes for what they have done, celebrate the precious lives of our girls, and remember our sweet Carter. Please join us!! You can go to the Wells Quints March for Babies webpage to sign up as a walker or to donate, check it out! http://www.marchforbabies.org/wellsquints We will be designing new t-shirts this year so I will let you know when those are complete. Until then, here's some pictures from the last two years. You can see how our "team" has grown...don't you want to be apart of this special day with us?!!?
