You may have seen some March of Dimes campaign commercials on tv lately, featuring parents trying to figure out why their baby was born prematurely. Of course, these commercials make me cry like a baby. I believe that one of the statistics they cite on the commercial is that around 475,000 babies are born prematurely in the U.S. each year, and in over half of those cases there is no explanation why.
Because of their excellent research into premature births, I decided to donate to the yearly March of Dimes campaign. I created a virtual hospital band in honor of Evan--you can view that here. If you click on that link, you can see Evan's band and also donate to the March of Dimes in his name if you choose to do so. Please check it out!
