Path of Hope

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Many of you are familiar with the Path of Hope, the signs In Honor or In Memory of children that line the March for Babies path. These signs are very special to the March of Dimes and we know they are very special for you. These children are the faces of the March of Dimes mission to ensure that one day, ALL babies will be born healthy!

We love honoring those children that have been your little fighters, overcoming the odds to be with you today. It is also very special to us to remember the children that did not survive. The "In Honor Of" signs show us how far the March of Dimes has come to ensure the health of babies and the "In Memory Of" signs show us just how much further we need to go so that one day no family has to lose a child due to illness, birth defects, or premature birth.

There is a group of 6 women called the Good Grief Group that gather together each year to create the Path of Hope signs, as they remember the 5 children they lost due to prematurity. They want to honor and remember your children too, as does the March of Dimes.

This video is a photo montage of my family team from last year Plano NICU Parents but it clearly demonstrates the meaning behind the Path of Hope.

We hope your family will join us this year by submitting a donation of $20 at http://www.marchforbabies.org/pathofhopedallas

LBailey@marchofdimes.com
for a sign to be made...you can bring hope to other families...your child can be the face of the mission to others...you can make a real difference in the hearts of every walker on April 16th. Join us along the Path of Hope!
