#72 The Tara Hansen Foundation

After Ryan Hansen unexpectedly lost his wife Tara during childbirth he became a maternal mortality advocate. Maternal mortality is more prevalent in the United States then you may expect and taking the time to understanding the simple steps that will help to avoid this unnecessary and catastrophic lose of life is beyond important.

The Tara Hansen Foundation has been established to honor Tara's life and memory. Our goal, continue to act in the same selfless manner in which Tara lived her life. We are dedicated to the advancement of maternal health awareness. The foundation believes that expecting parents deserve equal education on the risks associated with the mother as well as the child. We also plan to continue giving back to the school where she worked. Most importantly, we hope to keep Tara's positive spirit and appreciation for life alive.
