A MESSAGE FROM Deena Furstenburg's Fundraising Page for Every Mother Counts
Please support my fundraising efforts for the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon! I am running on behalf of Every Mother Counts, an organization committed to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. Did you know, every two minutes a woman dies due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth? That's 800 women every day and up to 98 percent of these deaths are preventable if we make it a priority.
I made a commitment to raise funds and awareness for maternal health because as a mother of 2 small children who had access to full prenatal care and support, I believe the act of childbirth is a fundamental human right and we have advanced too far as a society to not ensure a woman's health is protected during the sacred experience of bringing new life into the world. It is not lost on me that I have not only had access to excellent prenatal and postnatal care but also support structures around me to navigate pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, and because of that privilege, it is my duty to support other mothers who are not afforded the same options and opportunities I was and to ensure the future looks better than it does today for all mothers, everywhere.
