May is Maternal Mental Health Month 💙

At Fetal Health Foundation, we recognize Maternal Mental Health Month as a vital time to raise awareness, break stigma, and strengthen the resources and support systems available to mothers during pregnancy and postpartum.

Maternal mental health challenges are common—but too often go unspoken. This month is a reminder that awareness, compassion, and access to care can change outcomes for mothers and families.

We are committed to supporting families through every stage of the journey and advocating for better care and understanding.

Let’s continue working toward a future where every mother feels seen, supported, and able to access the care she needs. 💛

🎤🏁 Lonnie goes the extra mile to make races welcoming and inclusive! 💙✨🏃‍♂️

Team Hoyt Denver — a nonprofit dedicated to inclusive racing by pairing runners with athletes with disabilities so everyone can experience the finish line — has named our own Lonnie Somers, Chief HAL Officer, their Community Champion of Inclusion. 💙🏁🎉

Lonnie Somers co-founded HAL Sports, hypes the crowd as our race announcer, and brings the fun and energy to every start line and finish chute. 🎤✨🏃‍♂️

When Team Hoyt Denver needed support, his answer was simple: “Yes, we’ll make it happen.” 💪

As Race Director at many of Team Hoyt Denver's 2025 events, Lonnie worked tirelessly to ensure inclusive racing was seamless.

In the words of Team Hoyt Denver: "From the generous shout-outs at the start lines to the Colfax Marathon race weekend, where he secured a spot for our cargo trailer, reserved parking for all our athletes with disabilities and ensured we had a dedicated accessible restroom, his can-do attitude made our race day experiences fantastic. Lonnie we are so grateful for your partnership and support." 💙🏁

From all of us at HAL Sports — Lonnie, we’re proud to have you leading the way and grateful for the heart you bring to our community. 🚀 🌟🎉🥳

20 Years of Progress 💛

In 2026, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Fetal Health Foundation, we’ll be highlighting key advancements in fetal care to honor where we began and how far medicine has come for babies and families.

Since our founding in 2006, fetal care has transformed in extraordinary ways:

✨ Pregnancy care is now more predictive, less invasive, and increasingly personalized
🩺 Complex fetal conditions that once meant severe disability or loss are now often treatable before birth
📊 Families have access to earlier information, stronger support systems, and improved outcomes

Over the past two decades, we’ve proudly:
• Partnered with clinicians and researchers driving innovation
• Supported and informed parents during some of life’s most uncertain moments
• Raised awareness among hometown doctors, OBs, regional hospitals, and perinatal professionals, often the very first point of care for families

This anniversary year isn’t just about reflection. It’s about momentum. 🚀

We look ahead with excitement for new discoveries, deeper collaborations, and continued progress in fetal health. And we remain committed to advancing care and hope for families everywhere.

Stay with us all year as we spotlight the milestones shaping the future of fetal medicine. 💙

Today marks 20 years of the Fetal Health Foundation. 💜

What began when Lonnie and Michelle Somers faced a TTTS diagnosis during their pregnancy has grown into a global community dedicated to connecting families and healthcare professionals navigating fetal syndromes. Today, their daughters are 22, and their experience continues to guide our mission.

For two decades, the Fetal Health Foundation has provided hope, trusted information, and meaningful connections to families facing a prenatal diagnosis, meeting them wherever they are on that journey. 🤝

In the months ahead, we invite you to join us as we reflect on how fetal health care has progressed over the past 20 years, the lives touched along the way, and the work still ahead.
