Walk America is now March for Babies

Every year, the March of Dimes holds a 5 to 6 mile walk to raise money for their organization. This year, though, they're changing the name of the event to draw awareness to what they do. Walk America, as it used to be called, is now the March for Babies.

Most people recognize the March of Dimes, but believe that the organization only exists to support families of babies born prematurely or with health problems. But the March of Dimes wants us all to know that money donated to the non-profit organization goes towards programs that support the healthy birth and development of all babies. They've even launched a new, attractive website called March of Dimes Baby where expectant parents can find the answers to their most pressing questions.

Because walking or running in several charity events was one of my goals for this year, I've already signed up for March for Babies in my area. If you're interested in participating, here's the link.
