We walk to
raise awareness…Too few know the reality and impact of preeclampsia, a
life-threatening disorder of pregnancy that affects both the mother and the
unborn baby. Yet preeclampsia is not rare:Â It happens in as many as one
in 12 pregnancies. And any woman can be affected, regardless of her
race, ethnic background, skin color, size, hometown, or whether she is rich,
poor, or somewhere in the middle. Even good health and healthy habits aren’t
a guarantee of protection against this disorder.
