I will be walking for March of Dimes on May 7th Smile. Its for saving babies born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death in the first month of life? It affects 1,305 babies a day in the United States. Those who survive may have lifelong health problems.

If you want to donate for the cause, you can do it on my personal webpage on March of Dimes website. The URL for donations is....
http://www.walkamerica.org/ashish

I will take a lots of photos on the day. So keep checking the thread. Smile

I dont have too many details, but here is the webpage for Hartford, CT (where I'll be walking.) The walk will begin at 10am.

Are there any woofmangers from/around the Hartford area? We should walk together or form a woofmang team Very Happy

Sounds like a wonderful thing to do!! More power to you and to others who are doing this. Let us know how it goes.

(I will be in surgery at that time as far as I know now, but will want to hear when I come back).

I never knew that about the babies! THat is so sad. I am glad to hear people are doing something about it.

No problem Barb. What counts is the thought.

Thanks to all the people who contributed. This is a good cause.

Walk well Ashish! Keep putting one foot in front of the other...and take a spare pair of socks and hopefully avoid blisters! Good luck!
