I write about this every year, but this year I’m one of the organizers for this event, so it’s even more near and dear to my heart. Â We’re having the 10th Annual Miles for Midwives this coming weekend, October 6th, in Prospect Park. Â Miles for Midwives is a 5K run/ walk race which jointly benefits the NYC ACNM chapter and Choices in Childbirth, both fantastic organizations which do a lot for promoting natural childbirth, making informed birth choices, education, and the advancement of midwifery as a profession. Â It’s a great cause, and it’s *always* a fun morning. Â First there’s the run/ walk, then a pee-wee race for the toddlers, plus a Birth/ Wellness fair full of goodies like yoga and massage, tons of information on birth/ mothering/ parenting resources in New York City, and even face painting for the little ones. It’s not too late to sign-up to race. Â Register now! (And keep your fingers crossed for a nice sunny day).
