Walk for Midwives


MORE INFORMATION ON SPECIFICS COMING SOON - BUT HERE IS SOME GENERAL INFORMATION!

On October 3, we’ll be joining citizens in communities across the state to help raise funds and awareness as we work for greater access to midwives and better maternity care in Alabama. 

The Walk for Midwives is part of the Alabama Birth Coalition’s campaign to raise $55,000 to support our vital public policy and educational work. A nonprofit, all-volunteer, grassroots organization, the Alabama Birth Coalition relies on the generous support of our sponsors and individual donors to make this work possible.

Get Ready to Walk!

Here’s what you need to do:

Pre-register by September 17 to let us know you’re coming and guarantee your free t-shirt size. Just fill out the registration form and mail it with your donation to Alabama Birth Coalition, PO Box 121, Montevallo, AL 35115. Or you can make a secure donation online via PayPal on our website at alabamabirthcoalition.org and email your registration info to alabamabirth@gmail.com.

Can’t pre-register? That’s okay! You can also register after September 17 all the way up until the day of the Walk. Those registering after September 17 will receive free t-shirts based on availability.

Invite your loved ones to walk with you. This will be a fun, casual event, suitable for all ages, so bring the family with you!

Ask your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors to sponsor you in the Walk! Just fill out the Sponsor form and bring it along with cash or check donations to the Walk. Your sponsors can also donate online at our website, alabamabirthcoalition.org. Every gift makes a huge difference for our work.

And did you hear? A generous donor has offered up to $25,000 in matching funds for donations to the Walk for Midwives! That means every dollar you and your sponsors give will be matched, dollar for dollar!

To receive a registration form, please email me at apmotz@comcast.net.

Babies R Us

So, the healthy mommy, healthy baby event was a bit of a bust, but I did have the opportunity to meet a few pregnant ladies, so it was well worth it!

I had quite a busy day afterward though. Some friends came over with their kids and we had a small birthday party for one of them. Such fun! The kids played all day and I had ZERO problems getting either one to bed.

I feel great... except that the house is a but messy now, but oh well... tomorrow is Sunday and I can take care of it then. Right now I have a Saturday evening alone to relax and unwind... at least until Cole wakes up... although, he didn't nap this afternoon, only around 10am.... hmmm, maybe he'll sleep for a while!

Babypalooza

I had a booth at Babypalooza yesterday. I think it was a success! There were so many women and babies there, I ran out of brochures and flyers within the first 2 hours!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hello. I met a lot of great new people and saw a ton of beautiful pregnant bellies!

I hope to hear from some of those ladies soon!

Congratulations to anyone that won a prize. That stroller and car seat was amazing!
