Advisory Board

As a woman and a mother, I believe in speaking out strongly and passionately whenever possible to help diminish the suffering of women and children all over the world.

Just as I want to be there for my daughter, I want all mothers to be there for their children, because every child deserves to have a mother in her life. Cervical cancer has cut short these relationships far too often in poorer parts of the world — even in areas of my native Mexico — where women don’t have the same access to health care as women do in the U.S.

Grounds for Health’s cervical cancer screening, treatment and training programs successfully address this problem; and, by bringing life-saving care to mothers — and future mothers — who are the lifeblood of their families, they are saving daughters, sons, husbands and communities.
