Twenty-four weeks until her projected delivery date, her water broke. Heather was immediately admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with a preterm premature rupture of membranes. She said the doctors were certain she would deliver her baby within the next 48 hours and were concerned about the health of her soon-to-be-born child. With the support of family and friends, Heather and Hill survived more than 8 weeks of complete hospital bed rest. Now 3 years old, Hill is healthy and happy. This experience inspired Heather to found High Risk Hope, a foundation that provides support, encouragement, information and resources to women and families who are experiencing a high risk pregnancy resulting in potential premature birth and neonatal intensive care after delivery.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>As a leading lady, what is one of your proudest accomplishments? <\/b>With the help of volunteers, I have built High Risk Hope from the ground up and now consider myself a non-profit entrepreneur! High Risk Hope has no paid staff or employees, so I have done everything from drafting our articles of incorporation and Form 1023<b> <\/b>(to obtain tax-exempt status from the IRS) to bookkeeping, fundraising, graphic design, website development and volunteer management.\u00a0 The minimization of our administrative costs has enabled High Risk Hope to reach over 600 premature infants and their families since we began in 2011.<\/p>\n<p><b>How do you like to unwind? <\/b>I love to sit on the front porch with a glass of sweet tea and read a book or magazine while the kids play in the yard.
