The March of Dimes spends 76¢ of every dollar you raise in March for Babies to support research and programs that help babies begin healthy lives.
Here are some of the ways you’ve already helped:
lungs: Surfactant and nitric oxide therapies save the lives of many premature babies.
heart: New treatments mean better survival rates for the tiniest heart patients.
spine: Folic acid education means fewer babies are born with neural tube defects.
smile: We’ve identified a gene responsible for oral cleft and are working on preventions.
eyes: We’re developing treatments to cure vision defects.
brain: We’re fighting premature birth ― baby’s brain needs 9 months to fully develop.
