Hey Friends,
By this point, most if not all of you know my story. Often when I talk about our experience or the work we're doing at RPLA, I focus on the difficulties. For a moment, I want to focus on the hope.
Please look at the picture I selected for this page. This is the first night I was a mom, holding Maren in our tiny hospital room. It didn't matter than I hadn't carried her or birthed her myself, that is pure joy on my face. That is me realizing that after everything - all the treatments, all the pain, all the dollars, all the tears, all the fear - that I was a MOM.
RPLA wants to help others achieve the same moment. Whether it's helping to advance research that might lead to better treatments, advocating for improved care practices, providing safe spaces to connect, or simply reminding people they are not alone, RPLA is trying to get people through the darkness and towards hope.
But, if that doesn't convince you, know this... I have literally not run a mile since before the pandemic. Yet I have signed myself up for the 10K. I am committed to running six miles for my six losses. I will be training myself up over the next 12 weeks and I could use your support as my accountability system :) And if you are a couch potato like me and are inspired to train yourself, register and join my group, "Friends of Misbehaving Uterus"
Love, Megan
