[Some of you may have gotten this message via email (or Facebook, or Myspace...), but I am posting it here because it's important to me that as many people read it as possible. Thanks for understanding!]
I'm sure a lot of you have heard of the March of Dimes organization, which sponsors research to help eliminate birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. This year they have changed the name to "March for Babies" so that everyone will know exactly what the March is about. Also this year, I'm participating for the first time.
As you know, last year we were blessed to have our little William after a pregnancy and delivery completely free of complications. Sadly, I have known several women who have had difficult complications or miscarriages, and two of our close friends lost their babies last year just one month before they were due.
I am participating in the March for Babies this year to honor these friends who have suffered such profound losses. If you are able, please consider donating to the March for Babies to support lifesaving research, services, education and advocacy that help babies get a healthy start.
To donate any amount online, please go to http://www.marchforbabies.org/jennagrem. You can also donate by giving me cash or a check in person.
Even if you are unable to donate, there are other ways to participate in this worthy cause:
1) Forward this email to anyone you think will be interested in participating or donating. Be sure to include the above website in your email.
2) Join a team. I am the team captain of the American Blackbelt Academy team, and everyone is invited to join our team! Just go to http://www.marchforbabies.org/# and search for "American Blackbelt Academy" to join. By joining a team, you can create your own sponsor page where your friends can donate online.
3) Walk! Go to http://www.marchforbabies.org/# to find the time and date of the March for Babies walk nearest you. William and I will be walking at Bishop Park in Athens, Saturday May 3rd at 10am.
Thank you in advance for considering this cause. Feel free to email me with any questions.
Love,
Jenna
