    [For instance, there is a direct link between infant mortality and premature birth. Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.

There is mold in the classroom. The heating and AC units leak. I have seen teachers have to move students out of the way because the AC unit is leaking on one side of the class. I saw a teacher move a row of kids over because water was leaking on one side of the room.

I realized it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it's probably the only time I will ever play there. I had so much fun. When I got up there and realized where I was and thought about all the famous musicians who played there — it gave me chills.

I heard about the walk event last year when my sister called to tell me that she could no longer participate. My sister works very hard dealing with the effects of her MS. She is selfless and committed to finding a cure. Each year, instead of accepting a gift for her birthday and Christmas, she asks that we donate to the National MS Society. She is the strongest person I know, and that's why I had to get involved.
