Premature birth is the #1 cause of newborn death. It has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S., endangering the lives of more than half a million babies. And it's growing at an alarming rate. That's why we need you to participate in WalkAmerica.
Walk for a special child in your life – a healthy baby a premature baby or a sick one. Walk for all babies.
Last year, more than 20,000 teams participated in WalkAmerica with pride. Teams are made up of families, friends or colleagues who raise money for a great cause and come together at WalkAmerica to celebrate.

Premature birth can happen to any pregnant woman, and no one knows why. The March of Dimes is in the midst of a multi-year, multimillion-dollar campaign to address this gowing problem. With your support, the March of Dimes can continue to fund research and programs to prevent premature birth and other threats to babies' health.

The money you raise goes directly to research to find the causes of premature birth and how it can be prevented, to support families whose babies must spend time in neonatal intensive care units and to provide women with the latest information on having a healthy pregnancy.
