Run with Team EMC!

RUN WITH TEAM EMC 

Join us to raise awareness on the hundreds of thousands of girls and women around the world who die each year from complications in pregnancy and childbirth.

“"In maternal health, distance makes a huge difference, and running is a perfect way to explain that."

 – Christy Turlington Burns, Founder, Every Mother Counts

Five kilometers is less than the average distance a pregnant woman in the developing world must travel to receive the basic health care she needs to deliver her baby. Imagine having to walk that distance when you’re 9 months pregnant, in labor, and have no access to transportation. If the woman needs more comprehensive obstetric care, that distance increases considerably.

We run so others don’t have to. 

We have spots available, and will provide the t-shirt and training tips in exchange for your commitment to raise awareness and funds. Or if you're already running a race and want to run on behalf of EMC, let us know too!

Every Mother Counts is an advocacy and mobilization campaign to increase education and support for maternal mortality reduction globally. Every Mother Counts seeks to engage new audiences to better understand the challenges and the solutions while encouraging them to take action to improve the lives of girls and women worldwide.
