May 13th: Thirty Mom Models Walk The Runway To Save Lives

3/27/2016

From conception, weeks of shaping and forming in the womb, childbirth, and immediately after childbirth the level of care, access, support, services, information, and respect that pregnant women receive varies from country to country and within countries. Pregnancy and childbirth in many developing countries is a "silent killer". Causes such as excessive bleeding, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, obstructed labor, complications from malaria and HIV/AIDS, to lack of reliable transportation, lack of skilled staff, lack of supplies & medicines, and underlying poverty, sadly make pregnancy and childbirth seem like a disease or illness.

These issues are present because prioritizing women's health in developing countries has never been a priority to begin with. Maternal health needs to be addressed holistically and more than obstetricians, nurses, midwives, and maternal health experts need to be engaged in the dialogue to eliminate preventable maternal mortality.


On May 13th, Runway Moms For A Cause and Moms 'N Charge will bring together  an audience filled with experts from all walks of life - from engineers, lawyers, TV show hosts, journalists, medical and health specialists, bloggers, philanthropists, business owners, to interested individuals to support Childbirth Survival International programs, which are addressing maternal health in Tanzania, Uganda, and Nigeria.

Mothers in America who have had a childbirth experience many mothers in developing countries only dream about, will walk the runway on May 13th at The Westin Crystal City Hotel because they believe in CSI's mission and vision #EveryBirthCounts.

RSVP today and join this cross-sector dialogue and help make a difference. We need to change the tune together!


Fashion show host: Paul Wharton of Style.

I look forward to seeing you!
