Again this year, we are raising funds for the March of Dimes through the upcoming WalkAmerica event. We will be walking in a 10K on April 29th to raise money to support all that the March of Dimes is doing to prevent and to treat prematurity. We feel very strongly about this cause as our daughter, Emily, would not be alive today but through research supported by the March of Dimes. The following link provides more details on the ongoing Prematurity Campaign and National Agenda on Prematurity: http://www.marchofdimes.com/prematurity/21194_5576.asp
Please consider a donation to the March of Dimes via our WalkAmerica website, www.walkamerica.org/mansen, as we are attempting to raise $2000 for this year's event. Through the website, you can contribute via credit card or make a pledge and mail/hand us a check (written to March of Dimes) or cash.
This blog chronicles the miracles and struggles of our daughters, Emily and Olivia. Emily was born 15 weeks early and had many complications, but she continues to amaze us! Olivia, born in China with heart complications, is also beating the odds. She joined her forever family (us!) when she was four years old and has been doing wonderfully! UPDATE: We started homeschooling August 2009 :)
