Why I Walk

Preeclampsia is the leading cause of infant and maternal death. I’m a survivor and I walk so Preeclampsia won’t be part of another family’s story. With your support one more mother and baby can be saved.

Please join my team or make a donation. Every dollar makes a difference. 

Come on Saturday May 18th to hear more about my postpartum eclampsia experience.

I was seemingly low risk for preeclampsia, but there were a few red flags like my daughter being small for gestational age that I now know were warning signs that I might be at risk for complications. I spent over a week in the hospital as medical staff raced to get my blood pressure under control and ensure I did not experience further seizures. Thankfully, I was placed in the mother-baby unit so that Leah and I could remain together, but the entire experience was emotionally traumatizing. The Preeclampsia Foundation gave me information and support so I felt less alone and could understand my condition.
