might be asking yourself,  "What is
Preeclampsia?" Preeclampsia is a life-threatening disorder that occurs
only during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Preeclampsia is most often
characterized by a rapid rise in blood pressure that can lead to seizure,
stroke, multiple organ failure and death of the mother and/or baby. Thousands
of women and babies die or get very sick each year from this dangerous
condition.

The

disorder to prevent more fatalities and sicknesses to mothers and their newborn
children.

 Registration for this walk opens at 10:00 am,
and the opening ceremony begins at approximately10:45 am. This walk is a 2.5
mile paved path which is stroller friendly! Free refreshments will be provided
along with the company of friendly individuals who are all in attendance to
help support this cause. At the end of the walk, there will be a basket auction
that will have a variety of unique prizes. Come out and help spread awareness
of Preeclampsia! Together, we can help to create a world where preeclampsia and
hypertensive disorders of pregnancy no longer threaten the lives of mothers and
babies. Are you willing to take the next step?!
