Every year we share this story
for a number of reasons
which we will share later.
Ali was born
October 27th, 2010...
October 27th, 2010...
She was born
11 weeks premature.
She weighed 2 lbs 6 oz.
what caused her premature birth.
They suspected a possible infection
She started off with help breathing for 24 hours
and then was quickly able to take her own breaths
She then used a nasal cannula
to get increased oxygen.
She was tiny and fragile.
We went to see her every day
for the next 2 months while
she was in the NICU.

This was a hard time for us
and a time for prayer.
Looking at these pictures
bring back difficult memories and feelings;
however, it reminds us of the
humility,
faith,
and trust in God
that helped us through the time.
Since Ali's birth
we have honored Ali's fight to survive
through the March of Dimes.
We walk for her
and
we walk for the future children yet to be born.
Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick.
We ask
families,
individuals,
caring parents,
hopeful parents,
and others
to donate at least $1.00
in honor of Ali.
To date, we have raise
$2,004.00
The March of Dimes
helps moms have full-term pregnancies
and research the problems that threaten the health of babies
like in Ali's case,
prematurity.
Our 5th anniversary of
raising money...
we will be doing a 5k.
The Insane Inflatable 5k
in Lubbock, TX.
Our goal is to raise
$500
If that goal is met
Adam will wear a captain american shirt
with...
matching tutu for the race.
ALSO,
This year we will be giving out a prize
as a thank you to the many
that donate to our team each year.
For every $1.00
we will put in 1 entry for a
FREE photo session -
for family, couple, senior pictures, or individual
