The March of Dimes was originally founded to cure polio. When a cure was found, the charity shifted focus to research for premature births. Much of the research they have funded over the years has produced many medical advances for preemies. In fact, Cole may owe his life to some of these. Naturally we felt a strong affection for this organization. On April 29th we did the March Of Dimes 10K walk, along with 15,000 other people. All three of us walked, although Cole slept through most of it. Many of the stories we heard there were touching. Some were tragic. Although it was very emotional, it felt good to participate.
