Walkers join campaign to fight premature birth
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, May 12, 2006
March of Dimes' popular fundraising event, WalkAmerica, takes place in May in cities across the nation. Premature birth now affects half a million babies in the U.S. every year. The number of babies born prematurely each year has increased by 30% since 1983. Premature birth is the leading killer of newborns and a major cause of disabilities. The money raised in WalkAmerica supports the research and prevention efforts, as well as local programs that give hope and help families who experience it.
