2020 HER Virtual 5K Walk, Run, or Roll is September 24 – October 5. While we can’t be together in person, we can still come together for some fun, fitness, and charity. HER is holding a Virtual Walk, Run, or Roll Fundraiser for our new Light Easing Darkness (LED) Crisis Fund! 100% of the proceeds of this Virtual 5K will be used to grow the seed money for our LED Crisis Fund that will aid women in receiving the help and treatment they and their unborn child need. With this Fund, HER will help HG women in crisis by covering critical co-pays or medical cost. The LED Crisis Fund launches in October 2021, and 100% of your donations to the 5K will go directly to this important program.

At least 3% of women will face Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) during a pregnancy resulting in nearly 400,000 ER and hospital visits. Many more women will get outpatient care. More than 75% of those women are likely to face HG in subsequent pregnancies. While we are getting closer to determining the causes, there is still no cure, only appropriate treatment to help ease symptoms.
