Join March for Babies & Help Give

Meet Jackson & Matthew, March of Dimes 2010 Ambassadors

Matthew and Jackson were born 10 weeks premature with the first few weeks of their lives filled with feeding tubes, IV’s, x-rays and ventilators.  The boys received surfactant to help them breath and spent weeks in Good Samaritan’s NICU.

During their young lives they have endured numerous surgeries and procedures.  Multiple therapies have had to be introduced to assist in their development.  Chronic health issues will always be a concern, but overall the boys have thrived and are happy six year-olds.

Peter and Tiffannie, Matthew and Jackson’s parents, are proud supporters of the March of Dimes and believe that without research and education developed and funded by the March of Dimes, Matthew and Jackson would not have survived.  The Rebhun’s mission is to educate the public and healthcare workers about the risk of premature labor and birth.  Their hope is that other families will not have to endure the fears and pain that they experienced.  Their wish is for all babies to be born full-term and healthy.
