It's time for the annual March of Dimes fundraising walk. Last year Team 2Peas participated in our local walk and raised over $250. This year our goal is to raise at least $500. March of Dimes is committed to conducting research that will help ensure that all babies are born healthy. Because of this organization, Ryan and Evan were able to receive surfactant to help their under-developed lungs when they were born 15 weeks too soon. Can you imagine what this world would be like without those two smiling little boys in the header of this blog? We surely can't, and everyday we are thankful for them. We know how blessed we are every single day. Please help us do our part in helping make sure the MOD continues its research to help babies like Ryan and Evan.
How can you help? We'd love to have you join Team 2Peas and walk with us on Saturday April 30th in Fairfield, CT. I am so happy that the walk is on a Saturday this year! Last year the walk was on Sunday, and you know we're supposed to be in church on Sunday morning! This year we hope many of our family and friends can join us. The walk is approximately 3 miles and the location is gorgeous! The best part? You'll get to spend the morning with Ryan and Evan--the stars of this show, at least in their mama's opinion! Please join us by signing up for our team. Just click on the banner at the top of the blog. This year I am planning on having t-shirts designed. We would love, love, love to have you there with us, and we'd really appreciate a donation as well. Stay tuned for details.
Can't make the walk? Donate to this very worthy cause by clicking on the banner at the top of the blog. You'll be taken to a secure site and your donation will be safe. If you'd like to mail a donation in, there will be an address and you should make checks/money orders made payable to the March of Dimes. Please let them know that you are donating on behalf of Team 2Peas, though. So many people who read this blog live outside CT, but you can still support us. We'll miss having you there in person, of course, but your donation will be greatly appreciated.
Can't make the walk or a donation? Please pray for us and for babies who are fighting for their lives each and every day. Pray for their parents' strength at such a difficult time. Pray for the doctors and nurses who care for these babies (and their families). Praise God for what He has done and is doing in Ryan and Evan's lives. If you read this blog then you've seen their smiles and heard their laughter. Think of this and know that there is a God and He is still in the miracle working business. Think of us on this day, would you please? We'll feel you there with us.

Excellent organization. Cousin Betty will be mailing her donation. If I had not just left CT I would be there to walk with my boys, however, I will be there in June (B-Day).
