MY STORY
I am so excited to be participating in the 4th Annual Let's Not Be Still! Pregnancy & Infant Loss Run/Walk.  Money raised from this event will be used to increase awareness, support research, promote education, and encourage advocacy and family support regarding stillbirth.
 
Before this year I was in the dark about stillbirth.  I heard about it tragically happening once in a while but I along with many others would probably always say that it will never happen to me or anyone I know.  It is a taboo subject that people can't really talk about or don't want to.  I am doing this race because I want to make people more aware of the fact that it happens, and I want more funding to go towards prenatal care and support groups for families who experience something like this.  
 
 
I am doing the run in honor of Silas, my best friend's baby who was stillborn in April 2016.  I would say I am a person with few friends.  The few friends that I have and see often are really good friends that I've known for 15+ years.  Silas's mom is one of those friends that I have had for over 15 years.  We have literally been through almost everything together as friends.  Fights with parents, break-ups with boyfriends, rough teenage years, death of grandparents, changes in life-weddings,divorces, children, we all go through difficult times but nothing compares to what we have experienced since losing Silas.  It's not my place to go into the details, but everything was fine!  We were celebrating just after her 36 week appointment having dinner thinking she could have him soon since she was dilated a little already! Then sometime after that 36 week appointment within that week we had already lost him and everything we all had dreamed of for him.  I just want either more funding to go towards research or education or support because this is a horrible nightmare no one should have to experience.  I love her and her family dearly and wish them the very best.
