The biggest event of the year for the March of Dimes, the San Diego chapter hopes to raise $266,000 this year
When Emily Schmierer was born more than two months premature, her mother Liz worried whether her girl would grow up healthy.
About 600 people, many with similar stories, gathered to support mothers and babies through programs, research, education and advocacy. In its 52nd year, the March for Babies: A Mother of a Movement — formerly— is the March of Dimes’ largest fundraiser and the nation’s oldest charitable walk. Similar events are being held across the country this spring.
In 2014, Jessica Wade, a Black woman living in Los Angeles County, was pregnant with twins. Feeling something was not right, she and her husband went to urgent care multiple times, only to be sent back home, she said. At 21 weeks, her water broke and she lost one of her boys through miscarriage. The other was born at 27 weeks and six days, spent 143 days in newborn intensive care and his heart stopped three times.
