Superheroes flew in to town recently to participate in the annual Indian River County March for Babies at Riverside Park.

The 2.5-mile walk helps fund March of Dimes programs and research toward the prevention of birth defects, infant mortality and premature births.

According to MOD, “two babies die every hour in the U.S. And about every 12 hours, a woman dies as a result of complications from pregnancy,” so there is still much work to be done. Their goal is to give every baby the best start in life possible.
