ABOVE VIDEO: When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $2 billion to benefit all babies.

BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA — The March of Dimes is pleased to announce Health First is working with the March of Dimes to prevent pre-term birth to give more babies a healthy start in life.

Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center President Sean Gregory has taken on the role of 2014 March for Babies Event Chair. Gregory is also a proud father, making his commitment to the good health of moms and babies personal and even more meaningful.

March for Babies is the largest annual fundraising event for the March of Dimes, which will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2013. More than 4 million babies are born in the United States each year and the March of Dimes has helped each and every one of them through research, education, vaccines and breakthroughs.

INTEGRAL ROLE IN RAISING AWARENESS, FUNDING

“My work with the March of Dimes is a true honor,” said Gregory. “March for Babies gives everyone in our community the chance to work together to make a difference in the lives of millions of babies and I can’t think of a more important cause than that.”

As the 2014 March for Babies Chair, Gregory will play an integral role in raising awareness and funds to advance the scientific research and educational programs at the core of the March of Dimes efforts to prevent preterm birth and birth defects.

“My work with the March of Dimes is a true honor,” said Gregory. “March for Babies gives everyone in our community the chance to work together to make a difference in the lives of millions of babies and I can’t think of a more important cause than that.”

“Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death. In Brevard County, one in nine babies is born premature. It takes leaders in our community working together to ensure moms have healthy pregnancies.”

Last year, the Brevard March for Babies raised more than $182,000 at the Space Coast Stadium with more than 300 walkers participating. Gregory has made the commitment to raise $42,000 in new revenue as part of the 2014 March for Babies total goal of $210,000.
