Importance of Giving Back

I'm sure you know how great it feels to give back to your community and the ones you love. Recently, good friends of mine were asked to be the March of Dimes Ambassador Family for Central Iowa. Mike & Melissa Vogel have an amazing story to share! Before you watch this video, I would recommend that you grab a tissue because you'll need it. Well, I did anyway! Life is precious and after watching this video, I'm sure you'll feel the same.

Watching their children grow up has taught me a lot about the importance of a good health care system and the importance of the March of Dimes. Being an ambassador means that they'll use the Vogel family to help raise awareness and funding for the March of Dimes. The Vogel's will also be leading the March of Dimes Walk for Babies on May 10th!  Please join us if you are able!

Giving back to families in need, especially in Central Iowa, should make you feel proud! The Vogel's have a goal of $13,800 so I encourage you to help them reach their goal today! Afterall, can you imagine spending 138 days in the NICU with your children?

  2. The advances made to help premature babies is amazing. We have some friends who also went through a similar situation and amazingly have a healthy one year old boy now. They are participating with the March of Dimes campaign in Dubuque. Blessings to the Vogel family!
