| Ambassador children and their families bring a face to the mission of the March of Dimes for co-workers, friends and sponsors. An Ambassador family tells the story of how their lives have been touched by the March of Dimes. Then people can hear and see the connection between their efforts, the well being of the child standing in front of them and the health of thousands of other children across the country.
At birth, the family benefited from March of Dimes supported research if the child experienced one of the following conditions:
* Suffered from respiratory distress syndrome and received surfactant therapy.
* Suffered from persistent pulmonary hypertension and received nitric oxide therapy.
* Was born prematurely or at a low birth weight (a birthweight of less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces).
* Was in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
* Was diagnosed with phenylketonuria (PKU) and treated accordingly.
AND
* The child was born healthy as a result of the mother taking folic acid, and the parents had a previous child with a neural tube defect, such as spina bifida.
AND
* The child was born healthy and the parents can explain why their healthy pregnancy was served by the March of Dimes.
