They come from every walk of life to walk for healthy babies. These are the faces of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters (twins and triplets), best family friends, co-workers, volunteers, and the preemies who marched for babies on May 16, 2015 at Miami Meadows Park in the annual March of Dimes – March for Babies 5K walk.

They walk because they remember the most painful day of their life and want to save YOU from it. Every year in the United States, more than half a million babies are born too soon, 17,000 of them right here in Ohio. Each face you see here has a story to tell, whether it is one of thankfulness for the health of the child they personally know, or for the children who are less so. It is a day of quiet painful reflection or quiet joy.

With your help, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality through community services, research, education and advocacy.
