Some of you may have heard recently about sweet little Maddie Spohr passing away unexpectedly. Some of you may have noticed the March of Dimes badge to the right there under my blogroll. Some of you may have no idea what I am talking about, but that’s okay.

I did not know them, only a bit from their blog, but I feel compelled to share this and to try to do something for all the other babies that March of Dimes helps. Since Maddie’s passing there has been an incredible outpouring of support for her parents, Heather and Mike, in this sad time.

There are people all over the country donating their time to do the walk (click here to find an event near you) and/or donating money to the March of Dimes for all that they do to help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies and fund research to find answers to the serious problems that threaten our babies.

I urge you all to do what you can. For Maddie and all the babies and families out there that need our help.
