Volunteers gathered at the annual March for Babies walk in Downtown LA on Saturday, where families work to raise awareness and support for mothers and newborns facing challenges after birth. NBC4 and Telemundo 52 are media sponsors for the event for the eighth year in 2022.
"This is not what anyone envisions," Wade said."You’re grieving your birthing experience and what you thought it’d be like. You’re grieving not bringing your baby home from the hospital, you know, and going through those trying times."That's why she's made it her mission to join March of Dimes, and support other families in similar situations.
The organization hosts walks all over the country to raise awareness, including the one in Downtown Los Angeles in Grand Park. Many of the children running around the event survived months in the NICU themselves, and their parents told NBC4 they have the"March for Babies" organization to thank for their support.
"I had an incubator to help me breathe, because my lungs weren’t grown yet and I’m very glad to be here," said Wilder Rowan. "We can’t imagine life without him and every day is a blessing," his mom, Azizah Rowen, said. They're now an ambassador family for March for Babies.
