April 10, 2011 (CHICAGO) --
The March of Dimes is once again raising funds to help prevent premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. Each year, hundreds of thousands of babies are born prematurely and many of them die.
In fact, experts say premature birth is the leading cause of death in newborns.
To get walkers ready, Chef Eric Paul was in our ABC7 studio to show how to make a dish with shrimp and grits.
