| March of Dimes 2012 Ambassador, Kieran Wittstruck, visits United Airlines Headquarters. |
Kieran Wittstruck lives near Seattle with his mom, Shalini, and dad, Shane. Kieran turns six in March, and he's pretty excited about it. However, when he was born, reaching even his first birthday looked to be a challenge. Born at 31 weeks, he weighed about 3 pounds.
Kieran was placed in the NICU, and during his 31 days there he and his family overcame many challenges. "Never did Shane and I think of pregnancy as a life-or-death event," explains Shalini. "Thankfully, Kieran came home with us."

With Kieran healthy at home, Shalini looked for a way to give back. As an employee of Cigna, she has co-chaired Cigna's Seattle March for Babies team since 2007. And now this year, her bright, outgoing boy, Kieran, will serve as our 2012 National Ambassador — traveling the country on behalf of the March of Dimes.
