Calling all Walkers!!!
BMV will walk as a group at the Monument Avenue 10-K
on Saturday, March 27, 2010
"We
would love to gather as many birth advocates as possible to join us for
a great morning while spreading the word about BMV. Everyone is welcome!
We had a really good time last year and spoke with a handful of people
about birthing options in our state! About 12 of us walked the route
with balloons under our cute BMV t-shirts. Lots of people thought we
were actually pregnant and Sara Heifitz (our actress), pretended to go
into labor while crossing the finish line!

Our 2009 Birth Matters Virginia Awards and Fundraising Event was a terrific success!
Our Guest Speaker was Robbie Davis-Floyd
author of Birth As An American Rite of Passage and her newest release, Birth Models That Work
and we honored Leslie Fehan, CNM and Sara Fariss Krivanec for their work in supporting women with evidence based maternity care and information.
We also hosted a half day workshop with Robbie and she had the opportunity to speak with residents and students at a local hospital.
Many thanks to all who came out to support BMV!
