March for Babies...coming up soon!

Dear Family and Friends,

There is not much time for you to join us as we March for Babies on April 24th!   We hope to have Team Campbell make a good showing again this year.  We are sad that we have been distracted by Maggie's upcoming arrival (and all the uncertainties that have come along with it) and haven't prepared as much as in the past.  But, we will be speaking at the walk and Robbie and Campbell will be walking!

Please consider joining our team or donating to the March of Dimes.  All you have to do is click the purple button to the right of your screen and you can donate.  You can see we are far from our goal this year (but the ticker is wrong, we actually are up to $375).  We know times are tough for everyone but want to let you know that this organization is worthy of any donation.  As many of you know, on Campbell's 2nd day of life she received a drug called Surfactent.  Surfactent allows a preemie's lungs to expand more easily.  We believe this drug directly impacted her survival and her quality of life.  This miracle drug was developed during research funded by the March of Dimes.  They continue to fund research and awareness campaigns dedicated to ending prematurity and giving all babies a healthy start to life.

We'd like to thank the following people who have donated to Team Campbell:
Julie, Dean, Jacob, Zachary, and Lydia Milne
Bill and Denise Hopper
Linda Call
Crystal Greene
Sara Hopper

Here is a picture of Campbell at 2 lbs to remind us all of what we are fighting for...

I am planning to walk with you guys this year. If you are getting tshirts, I'm a Med. If not, I can wear last years. Michael might be able to get off work but doesn't know yet.

I don't get a shout out? Michael had to go out of town this week, so it will just be me on Sat. I'm trying to get Nanny to walk with me, but she doesn't know if she can do 5 miles in her old age... Nana - I told her you would walk with her, right?
