My heart leapt when I heard about this promising research. Here’s hoping it can bring answers to future generations of mothers and their families.

[The Iris Fund @TheIrisFund]

Virginians should: build an emergency kit, fill vital prescriptions, make a family communication plan, keep your vehicle’s gas tank at half a tank or more, clear gutters and drains near your residence & photograph the current condition of your property. https://t.co/7czsFC9ERc
