Team EMC completed the ING NYC marathon this past November, raising around $140k to support global maternal health. We’re inviting supporters of better maternal health everywhere to continue to run or walk a 5K of their own. To show your support, join team EMC and run/walk in solidarity with us. We run so that others don't have to.
