Tuesday, March 24TH, 2009 Ada and I went to Clear Channel Radio and recorded PSA's for the March For Babies event that will be held at Creekmore Park in Fort Smith, AR on April 25TH, 2009. If  I learned anything today it would be that I need to speak quicker while recording something for the radio.

Ada is also a March of Dimes Mission Family. She was so wonderful in setting this up for us to do. She also help take care of Alex while I recorded my section.

Gary was so great in helping us recorded the PSA's. He is a March of Dimes success story. When he was a child he had polio and the March of Dimes help pay his medical bills.

Hello. As you might be aware, our family has been touched by the March of Dimes mission to prevent birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. That’s why we have formed a Family Team to raise money and participate in March for Babies. Please join us in our fundraising efforts today by sponsoring our event.

Contributing to our team online is fast, easy and secure. You can donate directly from my personal webpage with a credit/debit card or PayPal. If you prefer, I can also accept cash or check. Just click the appropriate box on my webpage.

Our family knows firsthand the challenges associated with prematurity. It is important to find out why premature birth happens and what can be done to prevent it. By raising money, ongoing research to answer these critical questions is funded. When you support our Family Team, you show you care and you give hope for defeating premature birth and other threats to babies.

Please join us and millions of compassionate people across the country who support March for Babies each year. We need your help. Visit my webpage and sponsor our event! www.marchforbabies.org/teams/633428

With your support, there’s hope.

Thank You!

Christina Stengel

I was blessed by winning the Community Service Award and placing 3rd Runner-Up. Thank you to my wonderful husband and family for always supporting me.
