Did You Know?

...that in an average week in Mississippi, 864 babies are born? Of that number, 138 are born to teen mothers, 156 are born prematurely and 102 are considered "low birth weight." 9 of the babies born in an average week do not make it to their first birthday.

The map below demonstrates that Mississippi is last in the nation in regard to so many of these issues. Sadly, the efforts of the March of Dimes in fundraising in Mississippi don't even allow them to keep their doors open in our state. Instead, the national organization pumps funding into our state to help FIGHT these horrible statistics!

Could you help in supporting the efforts of the March of Dimes in our state? Please consider a donation to Team Aaron's Heart or the March of Dimes this year to help babies get a healthy start!
