For the last few years Bobbie Jo and I have been participating in the March of Dimes "March for Babies" (previously "Walk America"), this year's walk is on April 26th. We look forward to walking it with Max in tow.
From Wikipedia:
"Today in the USA, March of Dimes funds researchers are working in biochemistry, microbiology, developmental biology, genetics, pediatrics, and many other fields. Along the way, it has helped support special neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) designed to treat sick babies; drug treatments to replace surgery for babies with a common heart defect; and folic acid education and food fortification to prevent neural tube defects, among other advances."
We have had a few friends whose children were born extremely premature, and they credit the March of Dimes for helping their children become perfect healthy little babies.
We hope that you would be willing to sponsor us by clicking on the banner to the right, or the following link: www.marchforbabies.org/reinhardt. It's extremely easy. Payment can be safely made through a credit/debit card through our page at the March of Dimes site, or a pledge can be made and a check/cash can be mailed or given to us. We have set a low goal of $500, but have raised between $800 and $1000 in previous years. We really appreciate all of your help.
And of course, in case you forget, I'll be sending out periodic emails begging for sponsorship as well.
Thank you so much!
-James, Bobbie Jo and Max
