Prematurity Awareness Month.
Ok, so I totally know that this has nothing to do w/ Twilight but Tonya gave me permission to post this here :D I posted this on my family blog but I am reposting it here too.
November is is a pretty important month for me.. *Especially this year because Twilight is coming out* lol. November has quite a few birthdays, Thanksgiving and one of the most important causes in my life get to have the limelight for a whole month. November is known as Prematurity Awareness Month and I try my hardest to help spread the word.
I'm not going to go into story because I'm sure quite a few are tired of hearing it, but if you want to read Shaye's story and see why contribute to the March of Dimes, click here. Anyway, I wanted to get the word out that there are many ways you can help donate to aid in the research of prematurity. Click here to go to the March of Dimes Prematurity Awareness Month page. There they list the different ways in helping.
There are two ways I currently donate to the cause. The March of Dimes still has their fundraiser called 'Change for Babies'. All they ask is for you to keep up with your spare change. Take it to a coinstar and donate it to the March of Dimes.
And of course there is always March for Babies every spring. Our walk page is up year round, it resets every January but you can still donate throughout the year. Please help. I'm not asking for a million dollars, if you can only spare $1 that is fine, because every dollar counts.. They didn't have that dollar a second ago and it could do wonders. Below is my work in progress video of Shaye through the years :D Thought i would add it on for effect lol..
