For the Babies

I've heard of the March of Dimes, even though I wasn't really sure what they did until I went to a Kickoff meeting today. Check this out:

They save babies.

This has immediately become the most important group in the world to me. There are few things in this world that I feel more strongly about than children, and the younger they are, the stronger that feeling is, like some kind of infant-dependent Hulking out. I have no idea how their goal slipped past me for so long, but now I want to get involved, and heavily.

The money that is given to March of Dimes goes for research to prevent things like premature birth, heart defects, oral clefts, and neural tube defects. Even the child-hating crone from one of my previous posts should be able to get behind this one.

Here in Greenville, there's a walk planned for April 24. I don't know that I'll be able to search for contributions or actually do the march, but I'ma give some money to this. Maybe they'll give me a t-shirt (looking over my pamphlets, you need to donate $200 to get one, but I'm thinking that could be the best $200 I ever spend).

Check here to look for a March of Dimes near you, and give what you can. FOR THE BABIES.
