Official March of Dimes Bikers for Babies
Presented by
Maggie Swearingen, 2011 Kansas City March of Dimes Ambassador
Despite careful monitoring during her
next pregnancy, Bridget again developed
HELLP Syndrome and Eclampsia and
Maggie was born premature at 27 weeks,
weighing 2 lbs 1 oz. Maggie spent her first
month of life in the Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit (NICU) with feeding tubes,
PICC lines and IVs inserted in her tiny
body helping her stay alive.
On September 18, visit Baby Boulevard
to read about hundreds of local babies
whose first days were their hardest.
Stop by the March of Dimes mission
area (Garage C) to learn why it is so
important for you to ride and contribute
to help save babies’ lives.
Kansas City Bikers for Babies® began
in 1995 with 130 riders raising $3,000.
In 2010, 6,200 riders raised $715,000,
bringing the 16-year event total to
$5.1 million raised locally.
Each year in the United States, more
than half a million babies are born
prematurely. More than 120,000 others
are born with birth defects. Many don’t
make it to their first birthday.
