Scott Hoffman, his wife Jill, and their two 7-year-old sons currently serve as the Northern Region March of Dimes Ambassador Family. Hoffman presented an emotional, eye-opening video of their experience of having twins born prematurely, the care provided for the boys, and the emotional homecoming after months in the hospital.
