March of Dimes Fund Raising
Every year I join millions of other caring individuals to help fund raise money for
the March of Dimes. I've been doing this since 2005. The reason I do this is
because in 2004 I lost identical twin daughters due to their premature birth. My
sweet angels came much too soon at only 23 and a half weeks. No one knows
why they came early and even though we tried very hard to stop them Kyra was
born at 11:57 pm on Saturday September 25th and her sister Jayde came at 12:03
am on Sunday September 26th. Because of their early arrival and the policies of
the hospital that delivered them they only survived for 7 and a half hours. Long
enough to meet both their grandmothers, their paternal grandfather and an aunt.
They were about the size of beanie babies, and weighed about a pound, or 7 - 10
geocoins. When I found out all the research that the March of Dimes does towards
preventing premature births it felt like I finally had a reason why I lost my girls, to
help others not experience what we did. So I do what I can each year to raise
money for their research. This year (2008) we were asked to be the ambassador
family in our area. What an incredible honor that was, and I felt that I had to live up
to it. With the generous help from the Geocoin, Pathtag and Geocaching
Community I was able to raise over $1900! It's going to be a tough number to beat
next year. So I devised a new strategy!
This year I designed pathtags to sell as a fund raiser, but next year I will have the
pathtags as well as (hopefully) many very special Geocoins! With the designs that
I do I am asking the mints to make special 1 (or 2) of a kind coins that can be
auctioned off. So far the response has been very good. All that I ask is that the
coins be produced in a different color set, lighter or pastel tones if at all possible. I
ask that no more than 1 (or 2) of this special edition be created in order to keep it
collectible, which in turn will raise the most money for this amazing cause.
I'm also accepting any other coin to be auctioned as well, they don't have to be
anything special, but it's preferred that they be highly sought after again to raise
the most funds.
If you would like to help by sending me a coin, please don't hesitate to drop me a
line. You can send this email to me by clicking here!
If you feel moved to make a donation but would rather not try and buy a coin or
tag or send a coin you can do so by clicking on the image to the left. I collect
donations all year round, my walk was in April but that doesn't mean I can't keep
the spirit alive!
Check back often to see what coins I'll be auctioning beginning
in January 2009!

These are the coins that inspired me to have special coins
made from my designs. As you can see I have 1 for Boys and 1
for Girls. They are 1 of a kind each. There is one small flaw on
one of them. They were both supposed to have glow in the
dark roses on both sides, however the boys coin only glows in
the side with the butterflies.

There were 2 of these special
Flip Flop coins made. They
feature both blue and pink for
both boys and girls.
