A mother of two—which probably tells you where she spends a lot of her personal time—Julia is co-chair of the March of Dimes Signature Chefs Event, and it is an event for an organization she is quite passionate about. You'll have to ask her if they met their recent goal of raising $50,000 to support the March of Dimes in their work to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality!
