Promise Walk For Preeclampsia!

On May 19th, 2012, Mike, Avery and I will put on our tennis shoes and walk. We will be walking in the Charlotte Promise Walk For Preeclampsia. This walk supports the Preeclampsia Foundation to bring hope for healthy lives to millions of mothers and babies each year.

We will be walking because of the 6 weeks we spent on bedrest...two of those horrid weeks spent in the hosptial.
We will be walking because of all the NSTs and BPPs we endured biweekly...
We will be walking because of the scary, life-threatening blood pressures I struggled with...
We will be walking because of the 36 hour induced labor...
We will be walking because of the emergency c-section...
We will be walking because of our amazing doctors and nurses who became our family...
We will be walking because we fought for our lives...
We will be walking because the first time we heard Avery cry!!!


We will be walking for all the other mothers and babies who have gone through this. ...
We will be walking for all the mothers and babies who have lost their lives because of this...
We will be walking to raise awareness!!!
We will be walking to save lives!!!
We will be walking to find a cause and a cure!!!

I am in the process of creating our team...TEAM AVERY!! Should be up and running by tomorrow. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us to walk. We hope you do!! We would love for all of you...who faithfully prayed for us...and with us...to come walk beside us as we stand strongly with everyone who has been through this, and stand hopeful for all those that will one day endure this.
As a team, our goal to raise is $500. If you would like to donate or sponsor Avery, we would love for you to, although it is not required or expected.
If you walk, the registration fee is $20. This money counts as a donation and goes directly to our goal. If you register BY THIS FRIDAY, you will get a t-shirt on the day of the walk.

Either way, we hope each of you will join us on this very special day. You can find more information and how to sign up to walk with us at www.promisewalk.org/charlotte, or just click on the badge below. If you have any questions, please email me (stephanielane102@gmail.com) or call my cell (980-297-0970).





From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you and love you all! We cannot wait to see you there!
Mike, Stephanie and Avery
