As I am sure you are aware WalkAmerica is our largest fundraising
event and proceeds from it will help support the March of Dimes
"Campaign for Healthier Babies", which includes program of medical
research, community health services, advocacy and public education
to fight birth defects and infant mortality in America. Birth
defects are the Nation's #1 child health problem. A quarter of a
million babies are stricken each year by one or more of the 3,000
known disorders.
We look forward to seeing a larger City of Miami walk team on April
4th and hope that you will be among those walking for a healthier
future for the newborn and the unborn.
For Healthier Bab es,
