Prematurity Awareness Petition

I know, we haven’t even gotten past this month’s awareness issue and here I am jumping ahead to next month. What can I say, I’m driven. I’m sure you can understand why this issue is so very important to me.

I received this email from the March of Dimes yesterday and wanted to pass it along to all of you. Please, take a moment to sign the petition and ask your friends, family, coworkers, strangers in line at the grocery store, everyone to do the same. Please.

Here is the button from the March of Dimes’ website if you’d like to help promote this on your blog.

I had to make my own because that one wouldn’t fit in my sidebar. Feel free to use it if it works better for you.

Here’s the email ~

In the United States today, 1 in 8 babies is born prematurely. More newborns die from premature birth than any other cause. But solutions are within our grasp. Together, we can find the causes of premature birth, ensure moms get health care during pregnancy, and create workplaces that support maternal and infant health.

Act now and let everyone know it’s time to do more to help moms have healthy, full-term babies. November is March of Dimes Prematurity Awareness Month. Sign the Petition for Preemies.

P. S. Want to make an even bigger difference? Please forward this message to family and friends. Tell them you signed the petition and ask them to join you!
