Team Ashlee's Fundraising Page

Thank you all for being part of the Twin Cities Promise Walk for Preeclampsia and Team Ashlee! All your support, donations, volunteering and execution for this cause and event is greatly appreciated! With your help, awareness of Preeclampsia, Eclampsia and HELLP Syndrome is being shared, and helping to expand the research and provide education about these life-threatening hypertensive pregnancy & postpartum disorders.

Why I Walk

I walk to bring awareness of preeclampsia, a life-threatening hypertensive disorders that occurs during pregnancy and the postpartum period. I walk to raise funds for preeclampsia research through the Preeclampsia Foundation in hopes to find a cure. No mother or baby should have to experience a life-threatening condition during pregnancy and postpartum.

I walk for myself, my sister and all women and babies who experienced preeclampsia, eclampsia and HELLP syndrome.  

At 32 week gestation with my daughter, I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and SIADH (high levels of the ADH hormone that causes the body to retain water, which caused low sodium levels). My symptoms included high protein levels, high blood pressure, reaching 162/111, swelling in my face, arms and legs, vision flares, headache, water retention and very low sodium levels. 

At 34 weeks + 2 days gestation our daughter Kylie was born via cesarean section weighing 4lbs 0.6oz and spending her first 23 days of life in the NICU.  My blood pressure continued to be elevated after delivery through 2 weeks postpartum.

I hope one day my daughter will never have to worry or experience preeclampsia, eclampsia or HELLP syndrome during what should be an exciting life event.
