When it comes to babies, our love knows no bounds. From the first time we hear their heartbeat on an ultrasound to the moment we look into their eyes, babies capture our hearts and change our lives. The power of that change is why we invite you to join us today and Post Purple.
As a friend of the March of Dimes, you are part of a nationwide community committed to fighting premature birth — the #1 killer of babies in our country — so that more babies enter this world healthy and full term. This month, our community is showing our strength and commitment to this cause by celebrating the babies in our lives. Take a minute to share a note of love, reflection or advice, and invite others to do the same. Together, we'll fill the Post Purple wall with notes of joy, strength and hope for a world with more healthy babies!
Some notes may be about babies now grown, while others may share fresh thoughts of new arrivals. For some, these will bring memories of joy; others, sadly, may bravely share memories of loss.
Whatever your note may hold, when you Post Purple you stand as a symbol of all we have accomplished to improve babies' health, while spreading awareness of how much more work we have to do to reduce the number of babies born too soon.
Your small act will have significant impact close to home and around the world! So join us, and Post Purple today.
