March For Babies

By Justin Brown ( Contact ) May 2, 2008

There's still time to join 99.9 WJVL at the March for Babies this Saturday. (5/3)

Join Chesney's Mom (Kellie Brooks) and Mallory's Dad (Justin Brown) at the 2008 March of Dimes, "March For Babies."

Yes, they changed the name from 'WalkAmerica' to 'March For Babies' but the cause remains the same. It's all about healthy babies.

If you've already got a team together, great! If not, don't worry. You'll be able to sign up the day of the event. With your $25 donation made payable to the March of Dimes you'll be able to participate in the 6 mile walk this Saturday morning.

Registration will start at 7:30am at the Dean Riverview Surgery Confrence Center parking lot. The walk begins at 8:15am.

You can also sign up ONLINE.

Bring your friends, family, co-workers...or even your dogs (on a leash of course) and walk for a great cause.

Here are some facts about an average week in Wisconsin.

151 Babies are Born Preterm

24 Babies are Born Very Preterm

94 Babies are Born Low Birthweight

16 Babies are Born Very Low Birthweight

One day, all babies will be born healthy, but we have to walk first to get there!

Thanks for helping to make a difference!
