Help Catherine raise money

For participating in Virtual ICP Walk/Run to Fight the itch

My Story…

At 15 weeks pregnant with Owen I started itching. At 18 weeks I was diagnosed with ICP, or Cholestasis. I was terrified to learn that this condition could cause preterm labor, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, and even stillbirth. After countless appointments, taking medicine 4x/day, ultrasounds, NSTs, and a couple scary trips to the hospital - I was induced at 37weeks 1day. Our little Owen Lennon arrived safely, weighing 5lbs 8oz. His name means "young warrior", and it's so perfect for him. Through all of the anxiety of a high-risk pregnancy, I was so happy to have the support that ICP Care provides. Owen was worth every single itch! We are blessed to have him, and would love the chance to raise money so that other parents can be provided with education and resources to combat this rare condition.
