I will be participating in the 2025 NICUSTRONG Walk. All money raised will fund innovative treatment, cutting-edge equipment, much-needed research, and support for our babies and families of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Hackensack Meridian Joseph M. Sanzari Children?s Hospital.

I want to support this amazing cause because I love my little peanuts and want only the best for them! I also experienced the NICU journey from the outside with my best friends as their little 29 6 weeker thrived. All babies deserve that. I am proudly Oli's Ciocia :)

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admits about 940 newborns each year, so the need is great for innovative treatment and care. Approximately 80 newborns weigh less than 1,500 grams (that is approximately 3lbs. 5oz!). In 2018, NICUSTRONG was formed in support of these babies and their families. Since its inception, the walk has raised over $300,000, largely due to the tremendous support of teams like us. So far, funding has helped support critical research, parent programs, life-like manikins for vital education purposes, and more!

Please consider supporting this walk with any amount - $5, $10, $5000?! :) Every donation makes a difference, just click the purple button.

Thank you for your generosity and support. Together we can make a difference for these families and babies!
