A great cause that's close to my heart

Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many lifelong disabilities. You can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity by taking steps in WalkAmerica.Join WalkAmerica and a million compassionate people nationwide who care about saving babies. Do it in the name of someone you love a premature baby, a healthy baby, your own baby or the baby of a relative or friend.

As many of you may know, or may have read in my various blogs, I have a niece, Kayden Ivy, now 18 months old, who was born dangerously premature. My roommate, and great friend, Bigg Timmy, and his family dealt with similar a month before. Trinity wasn't as lucky as Kayden.

Timmy and I will be walking in the March of Dimes WalkAmerica at Lighthouse Point in New Haven on April 30th; he on behalf of his niece and family and I on behalf of mine.

Yeah, this is a blatant call for support. Sorry. Not usually my style, but this is a good cause, and one that means a lot to me. We're both trying to raise as much money as he can. Any and all donations will be most appreciated, no matter the size. Instructions for online donations are on the sites for both me and Timmy.

This is for a great cause, to help prevent premature birth. If you're wondering how he got involved with March of Dimes yourself, or walk yourself, information is also available on their site.

And here's my last plea to you... because who can resist pictures of cute little kids.Thank you all for any and all support you can give.
