Count the Kicks was founded by 5 unbelievably strong women after losing their baby girls. They joined together and started the mission hoping to save at least one baby! Little did they know... they would go on to launch a WORLDWIDE movement to track fetal activity! To date- there are 77 recorded baby saves, in which mom has reached out to share her story. In IOWA the stillbirth rate has decreased by 32%! The goal is to reduce all state rates by 32%, which would save 7,500 babies every year in the US!!
Now that you know how amazing Count the Kicks is... let me tell you how I got involved! It alllllll started with some glitter (like most of my stories!) While making custom apparel I met an awesome cheer coach. She was always fun to chat with and create apparel for. Years of glitter shirts turned into a friendship. When I was looking for some amazing students to run a fundraiser I reached out, knowing her daughter is a rockstar! Hallie being the social butterfly then reached out to help her daughter with her efforts and they became friends. Through Covid Hallie and Ali would have "virtual" sleepovers, day long FaceTime calls and more... becoming besties. Now fast forward to a few months ago... Kate messaged me about an opportunity with Count the Kicks to help with fundraising. Of course I said YES!!!! And long story, short, here I am!! Now I have the honor of working with Kate to continue the legacy of her beautiful daughter, Emma!
Emma would be 20 years old this spring. And in honor of her 20th birthday, Kate has set an incredible goal to raise $20k! I am excited to help her do just that!!
Ways to help:
*A donation of any amount is incredible!
*A donation of $60+ will get you a t-shirt (Kate designed) along with a ticket for a virtual event May 11th. Our speaker is New York bestselling author, Glennon Doyle!!! Can not wait to hear her speak! Her book "Untamed" is hilarious, sad, empowering, all the things!!!
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting this cause and saving babies with us!!
