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 Cranford area NJ Promise Walk is set


up to help spread awareness of this disorder to prevent more fatalities and


sicknesses to mothers and their newborn children.

 Registration for the Cranford area Promise


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?!
