Marching for a better future By JOSH NEWTONMarch for Babies, formerly known as WalkAmerica, supports research and programs to help prevent or treat premature birth. Since the first walk in 1970, according to the site, over $1 billion has been raised.
“These advances and developments provide grants for neonatal intensive care units and nurses,” said Jennifer. “Katie is now 2 years old, and you would never be able to tell any of these things occurred. She is a thriving, full-of-life red-head,” said Jennifer. “She has completely caught up, and at this time does not show any type of developmental delay which is commonly associated with premature infants.” The Taylor family is thrilled about representing the northeast section of Oklahoma through the upcoming drive. Tahlequah Middle School and Sequoyah Elementary have already held bank drives, and Greenwood Elementary will host a drive following spring break, according to Jennifer. “If you are interested or know of someone who would like to join our team or give a donation, please let me know!” The rewards, she says, will be a future of happy, thriving children just like Katie Jo. “We feel like, because of March of Dimes, our baby is here,” said Jennifer. “Please, help us to save babies just like our Katie Jo! This is something we can do to give back.” Get involved To support the northeastern Oklahoma March for Dimes ambassador, Team Taylor Katie-Did, log on to www.marchforbabies.org/KatieJoJo; or make checks payable to March of Dimes, and send to: Jennifer Taylor, P.O. Box 2004, Tahlequah, Okla., 74465. Team Taylor Katie-Did will be participating in the March for Babies Walk on Saturday, May 17, at 10 a.m. at the Muskogee Civic Center, 425 Boston in Muskogee.
