March Of Dimes

I am walking for the March of Dimes this year. I have mentioned a little that when the men are out to sea us wives take care of all the other wives, in particular Crystal Conner. Her husband is David's LPO (boss) and she is pregnant and on bed rest. Her daughter Brooklynn was a premature baby and is still suffering from health problems related to her premature birth. Crystal and Steven also lost Brooklynn's twin brother Lonan to complications.

They are such an amazing family. Crystal is so stong and can deal with being a "single parent" for most of the time, and all of Brooklynn health issues and being on bed rest. Little Lonan's death also brought this family closer to God. All of Crystal's strength comes from her faith and her willingness to rely on God. That peace has helped heal wounds and pave the way for less stress during this pregnancy.

I have never walked for the March of Dimes before. But knowing little Brooklynn and all the challenges she has had and has coming has inspired me. Hopefully her story and the stories of other premi babies you have know will inspire you to sponsor my walk. Please visit my site www.walkamerica.org/analeemicheletti and make a donation. And pass on the link.

I'd also like to post other stories of premature babies on my page to help raise money.

Thank you so much! I will post pictures of the walk in late April.

ps- Please pray for Crystal's pregnancy.
