March for Babies - In Memory of Ava Lynn and Baby Bean




Can you believe it's already time for March For Babies 2011? The years seem to fly by, but our mission remains the same - to help prevent prematurity, birth defects, and infant mortality. As the mother to two angel babies, and a friend to countless other grieving parents, this mission truly hits home. No parent wants to lose their child from something that can be prevented, and the money we raise helps to go to that very pertinent cause.
I know that the last few years have been financially difficult for many of us, but any amount of money you are able to donate is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use. Please join us for our walk on April 30th at 9:00am at The State Capitol in downtown Sacramento by visiting www.marchforbabies.org/AvaLynn1132006 or, if you are unable to walk, please sponsor our team by donating. I thank you so kindly for reading this. May your year be blessed.

Most Sincerely,
Amy L. Schuch
-Team Captain-
Team Ava Lynn

In a perfect world, we would not need organizations, such as March of Dimes, to help raise money to save babies′ lives. In a perfect world, half a million babies would not be born prematurely despite these efforts. But as many families know, our world is far from perfect. Hello, my name is Amy Schuch, and I joined March of Dimes - March for Babies - three years ago. On November 3rd, 2006 my daughter, Ava Lynn, was stillborn at 37 weeks. Since then, I have devoted my time and efforts to help raise money and awareness against prematurity, birth defects, and infant mortality. Join us on April 30th, 2010 at the State Capitol in Sacramento at 9:00am. Together we can and will make a difference.
