The 2017 March of Dimes March for Babies is this Saturday in both Milwaukee and Racine. Kenosha's Gillmore family is the Racine-Kenosha ambassador family. Jill Gillmore went into labor after just 28 weeks of pregnancy but doctors kept Marleigh in utero until 31 weeks. Jill and her husband Matt credit March of Dimes for the studies and research that helped Marleigh in utero and during her 39 days in the NICU.

The Gillmore's joined CBS 58 Morning News to tell their story.
