When Torie Robinson was born, her mother’s wedding ring could fit around her ankle with room to spare. Now, a few days shy of her second birthday, she and the Robinsons are the 2017 Hall County ambassador family for the March of Dimes organization. Each year, the March of Dimes chooses families with children who benefited from research, programs or educational campaigns aimed toward its mission to treat babies born with health problems.
