Hello fellow Citizens,

My name is Zetaman. I was recently featured in the Willamette Weekly March 5th. I come to you with a new cause that I am working on in April. My team and I are going to participate in the March for Babies walk-a-thon with the March of Dimes.

Donating to our March of Dimes’ page is fast, easy and secure with a debit/credit card or with a PayPal account. If none of these are available, the March of Dimes can also accept cash or check. Just click the appropriate box at http://marchforbabies.org/zetaman.

The money that is raised will help save premature and sick babies. According to various of medical websites –
“Overall the infant mortality rate was 6.85 infant deaths per 1,000 live births.”
And
“Approximately 34% of infant deaths within the first year of life are of premature babies, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The most common cause of death in the United States, according to official reports, is birth defects, with premature birth as the second most common. However, the new figures presented put premature birth as the leading cause of death among infants in the United States.”

These statistics are 30% greater then what it was over 20 years ago. But hopefully, the funding provided by the March of Dimes will help research and determine why premature births happen and what can be done to prevent it.

There are millions across the country who support the March for Babies every year. It is with humility and respect that my team and I try to help raise money for this honorable cause. Please go to http://marchforbabies.org/zetaman to sponsor me or learn more information on how you can get involved. Together, we can help our newborns and our future.

Thank you very much,

Zetaman

Hey all,
I am happy to report that the Alternates have raised $240 for the March for Babies. That means that $184.80 dollars that will go directly to help premature babies and parents without insurance.

I want to send a special thanks to Black Knight for his giant donation. I want to thank Rene’ Alfonso and Kristina Reichelt for helping us out. And I want to thank Dark Guardian and Runebringer for making donations as well. These people are the real heroes in this. Our economy is not doing that great at all and the fact that they made a donation despite what is going on is fantastic.

So again, thanks so much guys for helping babies!

Hello,

The Alternates (NW SA team) once again taking part of the March for Babies this year. Please help us reach our goal by making a donation to our walk.

Your gift will fund March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.

Please support this important work. You can make a donation with your credit card, or if you prefer, cash or a check is fine, too.

Thank you for helping the Alternates give all babies a healthy start!
