March for Babies, submitted by Melanie Rodriguez

Hello! I am participating for my eighth year in March for Babies because I believe in the March of Dimes mission to save babies. As you all know it grew even closer to my heart when I had my son, Carter. Please support me in my mission to make a difference in the lives of all babies that are born by going to my web page and reading more about the cause.

I would love to see you join our team "Caring for Carter" and participate in the walk on May 16th at Weber Point in downtown Stockton. If you are unable to walk then please donate to this extremely worthy cause. With your support, there’s hope. Please click onto my web page for more information. Thank you!

P.S. If you have an email address for someone who you think may be interested, please feel free to forward this along! = )My personal web page address for donations is http://www.marchforbabies.org/melly87

Would you like to see what March for Babies is and why I'm walking?
