Promise walk - Preeclampsia Foundation has made a fundraising event called ''Promise Walk for Preeclampsia'' to bring awareness by improving the outcome of this health concern, educating, supporting and engaging the community, improving healthcare practices, and finding a cure. This event began in 2005 and is still continuing. Since then this event has raised over a million dollars. This event occurs every year on May 26. This event is very effective as it raises millions of dollars to fund research and improve health care practices globally. Not only does this event raise money but also educates and gives interest to others who would like to help and learn more about this serious health condition. This event does not only occur in Canada but in America as well. Since Covid hit, they couldn't do the walk, so instead they made a Virtual Promise Walk for Preeclampsia. It enables participants, teams and donors to continue to provide, engage and raise awareness even without a local walk location, as well as for those who need to practise social distancing because of health issues. This allows others to connect and learn about preeclampsia and find ways to help. During the Virtual Promise Walk for Preeclampsia people will learn about what preeclampsia as well as all participants will receive a printable walk/race bib and a printable toolkit to spread awareness, and help raise funds. You can hear from Dr. Judette Louis about her work with preeclampsia while being in the Virtual Promise Walk for Preeclampsia.
