I work in a very small office. Generally I only interact with my three cube-mates and our boss all day long. The good thing about that is that we all get along really well. This is especially true when it comes to my coworker David who was hired at the same time as me. David is probably one of my favorite coworkers I've ever had (mostly because he doesn't give me pictures of himself as presents...I'm looking at you, Marni) and he's just a generally awesome person. I'm really grateful I get to work with him.
David has twin girls, Julia and Gabrielle, who just recently turned four. They are totally adorable and David's cube is plastered with pictures of them, so I feel like I know them really well even though I've only met them once. Here's a picture:
David and his wife are very involved with the March of Dimes because of the help that the March of Dimes provided to them when their daughters were born 10 weeks premature. If you would like to hear about their story in detail, please visit The Newman Family's March for Babies page. I couldn't begin to try to share their story in my own words. Warning - you will want to grab some kleenex before you read.
The reason I'm sharing this with you is because David invited us to participate in the March for Babies this year. We were honored to be asked and happy to join their team! On May 18 we'll be walking 3 miles around Anchorage along with the Newmans and other friends to help raise money for the March of Dimes, which is a fabulous organization that helped them and scores of others who have gone through similar experiences. The March of Dimes also helps with prenatal care to try to prevent premature birth.
You can help us out by making a secure donation on our team page or our personal page at the links below:
Although the team has already reached its goal, we'd like to do more. Please consider making a contribution for a great cause! Of course I'll do a post about the walk on the blog after the 18th. Thank you all in advance!
