About 1300 people came out for the March for Babies Saturday at the Tippecanoe County fairgrounds. It was a bit windy, but the weather was probably the best it has been for this event in several years. Thanks to Mike Prangley for joining me on the stage to give the forecast. Mike's last day on the air is Friday.
Jen Bushore said the local event raised about $130,000. That is awesome! According to the March of Dimes, "77% of every dollar supports research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And your funds are used to bring comfort and information to families whose baby was born too soon, or sick."
