 Well, March for Babies wants to prevent premature births, birth defects and infant deaths. Haiti Clowder shows us how families in Bemidji are taking a walk to remember their loved ones. The loss of a child is one of the most painful experiences for a parent. Desiree Pox-Laitner knows that pain too well. At 22 weeks pregnant, she lost her son, Caden, to a genetic disorder. Talking about it with others, it helps heal and you just kind of feel like you're with him when you're talking about it and even just planning this event with a committee and being together with other moms that can relate has been really helpful for me. The Pox-Laitner's were the chosen ambassador family for the 2017 Bemidji Area March for Babies. Desiree walks to honor Caden. You know, we can't do fun things for him like birthdays and such and celebrate his life so instead we just celebrate his memory and every year we you know we find special ways to do so and he'll always be with us. March for Babies is for anyone who's dealt with premature birth or infant loss. The march started at Bemidji State University's rec center and superheroes led the way. It's just amazing to see this turn out today. But these aren't your average superheroes. Some of these kids were born prematurely and use their very own superpowers to defy the odds. To do the superhero sprint was to cheer them on and to cheer on their families for overcoming scary situations. A memory garden let families plan a memory for their loved ones. The march is a place for families to also remember who they lost, have hope for the future and celebrate. That is another reason that we walk to celebrate the obstacles that they've overcome and other families have overcome. Lydia Petrozuzki can also celebrate with her daughter, better known as Feisty Faye, who was born prematurely but is now thriving four-year-old. She says these walks will continue until all babies survive. In Bemidji, Haydee Clutter, Lakeland News.
