Need your help

Below is a message from my colleague, Scott, whose family was touched by a terrible birth defect last year. If you can spare a few dollars to sponsor them, please do. Every little bit helps, and the cause is so incredibly important.

Dear Friends,

Hello. As you might be aware, last year our family was touched by the March of Dimes mission to prevent birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality with the birth and passing of our daughter Abigail Grace. To honor Abigail and children like her, we have formed a Family Team to raise money and participate in San Diego's March For Babies. In addition, we are also walking in celebration of the healthy babies that have blessed our lives this year; our son Jack and our nieces Eleanor and Hannah. We will be walking on April 26th in San Diego's Balboa Park. Please join us in honoring Abigail by sponsoring our team. To learn more about our story, please visit our March for Babies team page.

Contributing to our team online is fast, easy and secure. You can donate directly from my personal webpage with a credit/debit card or PayPal. If you prefer, I can also accept cash or check. Just click the appropriate box on my webpage. Last year you helped raise over $3000 and this year we would like to beat that. Every little bit helps. Please forward this to anyone you think would like to help or participate. We are grateful for your support.

If you cannot support us through financial means, maybe you would like to join us in walking. There is no cost to register and we would love for you to walk with us.

Our family knows firsthand the challenges associated with birth defects and infant death. It is important to find out why birth defects, such as Anencephaly, occur and what can be done to prevent it. By raising money, ongoing research to answer these critical questions is funded. When you support our Family Team, you show you care and you give hope for defeating premature birth and other threats to babies.

Please join us and millions of compassionate people across the country who support the March for Babies each year. We need your help. Visit my webpage and sponsor our team! Help us to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. With your support, there’s hope.

With Sincerest Thanks,

Scott, Rebekah and the entire Handley Family
