Mo Show Live: 5 Years of Team Will & March of Dimes
Tune in to the Mo Show Live Tuesday, February 13th at 8:00 PM for a reflection on 5 years for Team Will and the March of Dimes. Martinson & Beason, PC attorney Morris Lilienthal, along with his wife Shannon, started Team Will in 2013 to celebrate the life of their son, William Jackson Lilienthal, and to raise awareness and money for The March of Dimes. The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality through the pillars of community, advocacy, research, education, and support (CARES).
Since its founding in 2013, Team Will has steadily grown. Last year, Team Will raised over $11,500 for the cause. Team Will was also recently featured in a WHNT News 19 story shedding light on infant mortality. Team Will appreciates your show of support through walking in the annual March for Babies walk and through financial contributions. To find out more about making a financial contribution, follow this link. This year’s walk will be Saturday, April 21, 2018, at 9:00 AM at Charger Park on the UAH campus.
Newborn babies in Alabama are at especially high risk. In fact, Alabama’s score on the premature birth report card was an F and there are over 500 infant deaths every year in our state. Alabama was one of only three states to receive an F, the other states being Mississippi and Louisiana. Shockingly, the annual yearly costs associated with premature birth in the US exceeds $26 billion dollars.
