March of Dimes
The 2023 Greater Bluegrass March for Babies, sponsored by UK HealthCare, is scheduled for May 21st at the Kentucky Horse Park. March for Babies is the March of Dimes’ Signature event, and all proceeds benefit March of Dimes’ mission to improve the health of moms and babies by preventing maternal mortality and premature birth.
The maternal mortality rate has increased 89% in the U.S. since 2018. The U.S. is one of the most dangerous developed nations in which to give birth, and statistics are even worse for moms of color. Premature birth and infant death are rising, with Kentucky scoring an F on March of Dimes’ most recent Report Card.
We welcome you to join us at the Kentucky Horse Park on May 21st for an unforgettable experience and opportunity to celebrate and honor moms and babies. If you’re interested in joining this event, visit www.marchforbabies.org/event/greaterbluegrass to sign up.
The walk is free to attend, but donations are appreciated!
