I walk for every mother who didn’t see it coming. I walk because I’m one of the lucky ones — I survived HELLP syndrome. Many don’t.

HELLP nearly ended my life. It struck during what should’ve been a joyful time, turning it into an emergency I’ll never forget. I faced liver failure, dangerously high blood pressure, and the fear that I might never come home to my children. The trauma still lingers. I walk because that trauma needs a voice.

I walk for awareness. So more families learn the signs before it’s too late.

I walk for research. Because early detection and better care save lives.

I walk for the mothers who are no longer with us. For the babies who came too soon. For the families shattered by a diagnosis they’d never heard of.

I walk so that one day, HELLP syndrome won’t be a mystery — it’ll be a thing of the past.

This cause is personal. This walk is a promise.
