Why We Run/Walk: Raising Awareness for Maternal Health
Every year, ACOG observes Maternal Health Awareness Day to highlight the urgent maternal mortality crisis in our country and emphasize how we can work together to change its course.
As a medical student, I felt a deep responsibility to contribute to this mission within my own community. That’s why I organized this 5K race and wellness event—a day filled with health-centered activities, music, and meaningful conversations about maternal and women’s health. Now, as a resident physician, that same passion still burns just as strongly.
Our goal is to start important conversations with women about their health, educate our community on maternal health disparities, empower women to advocate for themselves during pregnancy and beyond, and raise awareness and support in the state of Georgia.
This event is more than a race—it’s a step toward saving lives. All proceeds will benefit Savannah Care Center, an organization dedicated to supporting women with the care, education, and resources they need for a healthy pregnancy and beyond.
Join us for a day of fun, family, and education as we come together to support mothers and improve maternal health outcomes.
