Today I am doing some simple research on prematurity, since I am doing a fundraiser for March for Dimes. I believe i should do this to have at least some background knowledge on the subject of the fund raiser.
November is the month for prematurity awareness. 543,000 babies a year are born before there expected due date. Premature babies, is the number one cause of neonatal mortality.The most common effect of being born early is learning problems. They can be mild, severe, or in the middle. A child may have long term hearing or poor eye sight. A child may have life lasting respiratory problems such as asthma. These effects of being born prematurely are just the minor effects. One of the major effects could be heart problems, such as having PDA (Patent Ductus arteriouses). This could cause heart failure as well as many other complications if left untreated.
This is just simple research on the effects of prematurity, I hope to learn more as the 20% project moves forward.

Novenber 7,2014 update on 20% project
My 20% time project will be a fundraiser for March for dimes. I will be doing a local 5K color run to help raise money toward research for preventing prematurity, or babies born with undeveloped lungs and such. I'm not sure yet to when I will be having this event, I am only determined to have this event to help research toward prematurity. If you are interested to find out more about March for Dimes and their mission, here is a link: http://www.marchofdimes.org/mission.aspx There is also a video to the right for information about the journey of prematurity for the children and their parents. I will hopefully be able to host a color run to raise money for March of Dimes.
I will start organizing my project by researching about prematurity and babies born with body parts that are not fully grown yet, so I will have a clear explanation for what I am raising money towards. I will also do research on how to draw people in to the event, to where everybody from children,young adults, adults, and even elderly want to join my event to March for Dimes. In order to raise money for my event I will need to be able to draw people in, that's why I am researching on that topic as well. In order to know how to host a proper event I will also need to research how to have a successful public event. So basically, my first steps of research is going to be on prematurity and how to host the color run properly, and how to get people to come to my event. I hope that I will successfully complete the run to raise money for research towards prematurity.
