As many of you know, our life was taken down an unexpected path last April due to HELLP Syndrome. On May 12th, 2012, Brentt and I are participating in The Promise Walk in Portland, Oregon to raise awareness and money for the Preeclampsia Foundation. The Preeclampsia Foundation’s mission is to reduce infant and maternal illness and death due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Hopefully one day soon they will be able to determine the cause of preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome.

Brentt and I formed a team called “Lorelai’s Legacy”. We would love to have more people walk for this cause with us, but understand if you aren’t able to. If you would still like to help, feel free to donate as you can….$5.00, $10.00, anything helps no matter how small!

Visit http://www.promisewalk.org/pfpw/participantpage.asp?uid=5035&fundid=1876 for more details on the walk, join our team, or to donate.

Walk Information:

• Cost is $20 for adults, $10 for kids (and that includes a shirt for you) ($25 if you register at the walk)
