March for Babies!

This will be my third year walking for the March of Dimes walk, formerly Walkamerica, now more aptly named "March for Babies." Of course, the March of Dimes current campaign is geared towards premature birth, but I like to think they still help with research for birth defects as well.

Not to mention, I have a number of friends who have been affected by premature birth. My friend Audra, lost her twins at 23 weeks; my friend Vanessa has a 27 weeker who is now 16 months old and doing well; our sitter, Chrissy's twin sons were born at 32 weeks, and the list could go on and on. It's definitely a worthwhile cause!

The walk for the Triangle area is April 19th, so I'll be trying to raise $$ until then. If you feel like it, throw $5 or $10 my way! Online contributions make it so easy! Thanks!

Story of the first ASO performed at Duke....?

The other neat story I have from the Radiothon was from a Duke employee who helps organize Radiothon. She mentioned that she has a friend that she has known for several years through sports their kids play, etc. and that she had just recently learned that the friend's 22 year old daughter, is a TGA kid and was likely the first Arterial Switch Operation recipient at Duke in 1985. Twenty two years later, she is doing very well with no complications! It's a short & sweet story, but another one that made me very happy and left an impression!
