How does funding help? The annual NICUSTRONG Walk helps fund innovative treatment, cutting-edge equipment, training and education, much-needed research and support to patient and family needs in the NICU.

Since its inception in 2018, money has helped fund:

  • Life-like manikins for vital education purposes;
  • Several parent programs;
  • Vital research to help predict neonatal respiratory outcomes through the mother's blood in the third trimester;
  • A family support coordinator - funded in collaboration with March of Dimes - to provide valuable support and resources to families as they adjust to life in the NICU;
  • The Beads of Courage program, in which beads are given to commemorate a patient’s achievement of milestones and moments of courage during the NICU journey; and
  • A literacy initiative called Reach Out and Read, providing books to families to promote language development and family bonding.

With your help, we can continue to support the needs of our NICUSTRONG babies and their families. Your fundraising, sponsorships and participation show us what it truly means to be #NICUSTRONG !
