Join the Fight for Preemies

On Tuesday November 17th you can show your support for March of Dimes Fight for
Preemies by blogging about a baby you love or blogging about prematurity and
help raise awareness about premature births.Premature births affect
approximately 10 percent of the babies born. Each year nearly 13 million babies
are born prematurely. In the United States about half a million babies are born
prematurely and end up being admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units.More than
one million premature babies die each year and those who survive often face
serious health challenges and risk lifelong disabilities.The Fight for Preemies
is being organized by Bloggers Unite and the March of Dimes to raising awareness
of the crisis of premature birth. Bloggers are invited to get involved by
spreading the word about the Fight for Preemies and to post a blog on November
17th during Prematurity Awareness Month.
