Many die; others face lifelong disability. The money you raise in WalkAmerica supports March of Dimes research and programs to find answers to what causes premature birth and what can be done to prevent it.
March of Dimes WalkAmerica 2006 in Connecticut raised over $1.1 million! Join WalkAmerica today and walk for someone you love. Register your Family Team, walk with your company team or come on out on your own! Raising money is easy with our online fundraising tools at www.walkamerica.org .
Join us on Sunday, April 29 in one of 10 locations statewide!
