SHOW UP IN TURNOUT

Saturday, April 21, 2012 @ 9 a.m., Naval Heritage Park Support the 2012 March for Babies Ambassadors the Connelly Family

We are Ryan and Ashley Connelly. Native to Beaufort, Ryan was a firefighter with Lady’s Island Fire Department for 6 years. During that time, our beautiful daughters, Emilia and Olivia were born over 3 months premature and spent their first 91 days in the hospital. The support displayed by fire service members and research funded by the March of Dimes saved our girls’ lives. As the 2012 March of Dimes Ambassador Family for Beaufort County, we have made it our MISSION to show March of Dimes the UNITY of our hometown and the fire service brotherhood! WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are asking all firemen/women to come out and walk in FULL TURNOUT GEAR! We are also inviting all Beaufort County community members to walk alongside us! Follow the link below to pledge for babies.
