March of Dimes March for Babies Sacramento 2009

There’s a place for everyone at March for Babies! I was invited to help photograph the yearly March for Babies event in Sacramento on April 25. DJ and I are going to be 'roaming' photographers, there to capture the essence of the event to share with all the teams and other participants.

Teams will be walking for six miles, starting and ending at the State Capitol. Family Teams are made up of friends and family who want to honor babies – babies born prematurely or with a birth defect; babies who didn’t survive, or healthy, full-term babies. Premature birth touches half a million babies and their families every year. Babies born too soon are more likely to die or have disabilities. Birth defects pose another serious threat – taking the lives of many babies and cause lifelong disabilities for thousands more. So it’s important for us to help the March of Dimes help moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.

No one is working harder than the March of Dimes to understand the causes of prematurity and birth defects.

If you aren't attending this event or sponsoring a team and would like to make a contribution to this cause you can go to www.clicktosavebabies.org. Every dollar makes a difference!
