Being born on Leap Day

Adriene Hill and Jeremy Hobson Feb 29, 2012

But for those born on Feb. 29, certain obstacles do arise. In today’s Mid-Day Extra, Jeremy Hobson and Adriene Hill talk to Raenell Dawn, the co-founder of the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies. She talks about the unique circumstances that come with being born on Leap Day.
