World Prematurity Day

World Prematurity Day is fast approaching, on November 17, 2012.  Please help blog on that day to raise awareness to overcome all the issues with prematurity and help decrease and/or eliminate premature births.

Urge the President to raise awareness about the prematurity crisis by lighting the White House purple!

Our goal is to get the White House lit in purple on January 3, 2013 — both to honor the 75th anniversary of the founding of the March of Dimes by President Franklin Roosevelt, and to give hope to the families whose children have been born too soon.

So far, more than 7,000 people have signed our petition at WhiteHouse.gov. Please join them by November 18 and help us raise awareness about the prematurity crisis:
