This year I will be running and fundraising for the Preeclampsia Foundation as a survivor of preeclampsia. Despite no history of high blood pressure I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia in October of 2021. I had no discernible symptoms and was sent to L&D from my 34 week checkup. I started on magnesium and was told that I would be having an emergency c-section to deliver our daughter Jacqueline at 34 weeks. Thankfully we were both okay and Jackie only spent two weeks in the NICU.  But now I have made it one of my personal missions to help raise funds for and awareness of preeclampsia to hopefully prevent others from having to go through the same thing.
