Imagine looking forward to the birth of a child or grandchild, only to be faced with the heartbreak of a baby born too soon, so sick it must fight for its life, so small that it fits in the palm of your hand. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and affects half a million babies and their families every year in the U.S. The numbers are growing at an alarming rate, which is why the March of Dimes is leading the effort to find answers. We are making progress, but there is much to do.
