The March of Dimes’ March for
Babies (formerly Walk America) is at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 25
in downtown Lansing. As the March of Dimes biggest fundraiser,
March for Babies supports research and programs to help prevent
premature birth, birth defects and infant death. Their mission is,
“One day…all babies will be born healthy.”

LDA is not able to hold the Food & Fitness 5K Run/Walk in 2009. On the
traditional date of the race, the "Run For The House" will take place on
March 28th, 2009,10:00 a.m. at Hawk Island. Help
make a difference for families of seriously ill children. Your
participation in the Run For The House 5K Run/Walk will help the Ronald
McDonald House of Mid-Michigan provide a home-away-from-home for those
families who have a child being hospitalized or receiving treatment at
Lansing-area hospitals and clinics. The House offers a comfortable,
inexpensive and private place for families to sleep, eat and relax.
Here families find a caring atmosphere where they can receive strength and
encouragement from others who are also going through difficult times.
