Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many lifelong disabilities. You can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity by taking steps in March for Babies.

Your March for Babies

In 2010, the Maryland-National Capital Area Chapter conducted March for Babies events in 17 locations in Maryland, Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C.  Thank you for walking in March for Babies.

Your Support Helps Babies

The money you raise in March for Babies is used to fund life-saving research and local programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives.

Form A Family Team

Are you a parent, relative or friend of a premature baby, a baby born with birth defects or other health problems or children who spent time in neonatal intensive care? Join March for Babies by forming a Family Team!
