This is for maddie.

And for any and all parents who have ever felt the pain of a passing star.

Stories like this make me feel terrified and helpless. I consider myself lucky to be on the other side of the fence, and that I can say, “I can’t even imaginewhat that feels like.” I don’t ever want to know. But it breaks my heart that so many parents do. The mere thought of losing my child sends me on an emotional whirlwind that takes me a few hours to recover from. Nothing breaks my heart so completely than hearing about another set of parents who have had to say goodbye to their precious child, and for that little baby. No baby should ever have to leave this earth.

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

Join me on my walk in Salt Lake City on Saturday, 25 April. Or support my walk by sponsoring me through marchforbabies.org/janeyjessen. Every little bit helps.

So that no child should ever have to fight to survive.

    This cause really hits home after watching my sister lose her little girl. It’s just heartbreaking.

    I really just want to say out loud how awesome I think this is. Gavin and I will be walking with Janey for sure.

    $5? $10? peanuts. Help save babies. If we could keep just one more parent from feeling the sting of losing a child I’d call it a success.
