When I learned of Madeline Spohr’s passing last week I wanted to do something, anything to help your grieving parents whom I had come to “know” through the power of the internet and the wonderful world of mommy bloggers.  I wrote a tribute post in honor of Maddie, I donated to March for Babies in her name, and I donated money to the family to help them with their upcoming expenses.   But it didn’t seem like enough, I wanted to do more.

I decided to join a March for Babies team here in St. Louis that is walking in honor of Maddie, St. Louis Team Maddie.  On April 25th I will be participating in this annual walk to help raise money for March of Dimes so that one day all babies will be born healthy and no parent has to suffer the incredible loss that Heather and Mike Spohr are now suffering.  I will be pushing Maya in her stroller so one day I can tell her she was part of an amazing thing.  We’ll both be wearing purple in honor of Maddie and in support of March of Dimes.

Please, if you can, click on the badge at the top of the page and make a donation.  Every dollar helps.
