This year is a milestone birthday for me. So when Every Mother Counts asked for team members to join Team EMC at the Chicago Marathon, I decided this was my year. I’m a longtime supporter of Every Mother Counts, an organization dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. And I’m thrilled to be supporting them through running my first ever marathon.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal if you are able. Donations go toward Black and Indigenous community-based organizations in the U.S. and abroad to eliminate racial disparities in maternal health, as well as to help fund original, accessible content, tools, and resources for people to share and raise awareness in their own communities.

Please donate if you can.
