MOM ON A MISSION CHRISTY TURLINGTON BURNS
Nearly 13 years ago, Christy Turlington Burns evolved from an original supermodel to a women’s superhero, trading in runways in Paris and Milan for maternity clinics in Haiti and Tanzania. Her shift to healthadvocacy work began after she experienced complications during her daughter’s birth, and learned shortly thereafter an unsettling statistic: A woman dies every two minutes from similar complications, and up to 98 percent of those deaths are preventable. Determined to shrink that number, Turlington Burns studied public health at Columbia University and founded the nonprofit Every Mother Counts. She makes a point of wearing brands that give back, and has worked with companies like Toms and Clare V. to offer items that support her cause: “to make pregnancy and childbirth safer for every mother, everywhere.”
