why we run
Every Mother Counts was born from the recognition that not all birthing people enjoy the same access and privilege when it comes to maternity care. In some parts of the world, women have to travel many miles to reach a provider or clinic while pregnant or in labor, often by foot. We run as a way to raise awareness of maternal health disparities.
To date, Team EMC has run hundreds of thousands of miles, and raised over $7M in support of Every Mother Counts’ mission.

“The NYC Marathon and everything about it – the training, the fundraising, the support received from our communities and the EMC staff and community – was without a doubt one of the most incredible experiences of my life. There are not enough words to express my profound gratitude for the EMC team for including us on the team and for working so hard to make the team feel prepared and excited for the race.” – Lauren P.
