March of Dimes, MD-NCA

Why We Walk Wednesday: Team Walking for Little Miracles

The Walker family understands firsthand what it can mean if a baby is born too soon.

Daughter Kinsey was born premature at 29 weeks gestation via an emergency C-section. She weighed just 2 pounds 2 ounces. No one knew if she would survive. 

 

Today (March 5) is Kinsey’s 12^th birthday and again this year, she has asked for donations for the March of Dimes instead of presents.

 

Even at such a young age, Kinsey credits the March of Dimes for helping her realize how lucky you are if you live and is determined to give back to help families that have or will have preemies. 

When she was just five years old, Kinsey decided to walk for the March of Dimes. Her parents joke that she skipped throughout most of the five miles. This year will mark the family’s seventh year participating in March for Babies.

This will be a special year for them as they will serve as the March for Babies Montgomery Co. Ambassador Family helping to raise awareness and the funds to give babies a healthy start in life.

We wish Kinsey a very, happy birthday!
