Why I Walk

June 21st, 2022 I woke up not feeling well and decided to go to the ER despite being told to wait at home to see if I felt better in 24 hours. Just a few hours later after arriving to the hospital, my labs were drawn and shortly after I was wheeled into an OR for an emergency c-section at 33 weeks pregnant after being told I had to give birth to my daughter, Kamryn, within the next 30 minutes to save my life and hers due to HELLP Syndrome. The c-section went well without any complications, and we had a month long stay in the NICU until we were able to bring Kamryn home.

In 2024, I was blessed to experience a preeclampsia free pregnancy where I had my daughter, Kennedy, at 39 weeks via scheduled c-section. I was blessed to not experience HELLP syndrome or preeclampsia this time around, but I am sadly aware that this is not the case for every woman. Today, I am lucky to be a HELLP Syndrome Survivor and mom of two beautiful, strong daughters, and I hope my story can help other women out there. She Persists With Purpose walks for all those whose lives have been affected by preeclampsia, to support a cause and foundation we hold close to our hearts, and to prayerfully prevent my daughters from being affected by preeclampsia in the future. Thank you to those who support!
