Thames Bridges Trek · 9 September 2017 ·

AFE is a life-threatening, acute, and unexpected birth complication that affects both mother and baby. It is a leading cause of maternal death and suffering across the globe and is estimated to affect 1 in every 40,000 births. The AFE Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 2008 by an AFE survivor, is a unique coalition of affected families, respected clinicians, world-renowned researchers, and engaged advocates working together to accomplish 3 key initiatives: Advancing research to better understand, treat, diagnose, and someday prevent AFE. In 2013, the AFE Foundation joined into a formal collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas in the United States and established the international Amniotic Fluid Embolism Registry ™ . Promoting awareness and education for the medical community through participation at various clinical meetings, grand rounds, and CME events. The foundation also provides access to safety bundles and published literature to aid in the management and diagnosis of AFE. Offering support to the patients, families, and care providers affected through access to accurate and timely information, outcome specific resources, and connecting them to our community forums.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On 9th September we will be taking part in the Thames Bridges Trek; this is a 25km 'trek' across the Capital going over 16 of London's iconic bridges along the way! We've joined as a team of three (sisters) to raise awareness of AFE and to fundraise for the Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE) Foundation.

The AFE Foundation is very close to our hearts; they have been a huge support in helping 'big sis' Jenny come to terms with the AFE she suffered and which both she and her daughter Isla miraculously survived, at Isla's birth in April 2016. They are an amazing 'patient advocacy' organisation who work tirelessly to offer support to survivors and to families devastated by AFE; at the same time they put a huge amount of effort and resources into running their numerous research projects and are working with an array of well respected physicians and medical professionals ... all of this is funded by contributions from individuals and businesses!

So please dig deep and help us to give back and join in the campaign to End AFE!
