Making Waves for Coral, an affiliate of The PPROM Foundation, was established in August 2019 by Julie and Yhadird Odar after the tragic loss of their first child, Coral Francesca, at 19 weeks gestation to a pregnancy complication called PPROM. PPROM (pre-term premature rupture of membranes) refers to the rupture of the amniotic sac before 37 weeks gestation, and is the #1 cause of pre-term labor. Between 3-10% of all pregnancies are affected by PPROM and currently there is no known cause, prevention, treatment or cure. Making Waves for Coral aims to raise awareness of this serious pregnancy complication and raise funds for research and family support initiatives through a partnership with The PPROM Foundation. Our mission is to empower and comfort families experiencing PPROM. Together, we can turn the tide against PPROM!

We hope you will join us!
