It is 96 miles from Verona to the nearest clinic with abortion access. From 9/7-9/13, I am running 96 miles to raise funds for the Women’s Medical Fund (WMF).
Want to join me in making a difference? Any donation will help make an impact, and here’s a few meaningful amounts you could consider:
- $21: Average number of Wisconsin residents granted abortion support by WMF every week
- $50: Years since WMF was founded!
- $72: Number of Wisconsin counties without an abortion clinic that is currently providing abortion care (hint: it’s all of them!)
- $80: The number of member groups in the National Network of Abortion Funds
- $247: Amount of WMF’s average grant for someone seeking abortion support
- $276: Average mileage of a one-way trip to access abortion care in the U.S. after the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling
If you’d rather donate directly to WMF, you can do so here (and consider committing to a monthly donation!): https://wiabortionfund.org/donate/
Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. You can follow along throughout the week on Instagram @danielljgp !
More information about Women's Medical Fund, Inc.: Women's Medical Fund (WMF) provides financial assistance to people in Wisconsin who need abortions and cannot afford the full cost. As a volunteer-led, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, WMF has been ensuring access to abortion since 1972, helping Wisconsinites around the state access the healthcare they need. Wisconsin has some of the most restrictive barriers to abortion in the U.S., and WMF provides community care to fill urgent gaps in access.
