This summer, Save the Storks is turning miles into meaningful support for moms facing unexpected pregnancies through our Miles for Moms campaign. Whether you’re walking, biking, running, or traveling far and wide, every mile can help bring life-affirming care to women across the country.

We’re excited to spotlight two incredible women—Ashley, a fitness coach and mom who made every step count, and our CEO, Diane Ferraro, who took to the skies to join the movement. Read on to discover how they made their miles matter and how you can too.

Ashley’s Journey with Miles for Moms

We had the pleasure of chatting with Ashley (@glowbodypt), a mom and fitness advocate, about why she joined Miles for Moms this summer and what the campaign means to her.

What inspired you to participate in Miles for Moms?

“I’ve always supported Save the Storks because I believe that babies are unique, and God made humankind in His own image. The common theme throughout Scripture is that innocent life should be protected. Life begins at conception—this is both a biblical truth and scientifically confirmed. I wanted to stand for the innocent lives in the womb who cannot speak for themselves.”

How does the campaign connect to your personal values and fitness?

“This campaign is about more than just movement; it’s a prayerful call for a culture shift where everyone values life from the very beginning. As a fitness coach, I love encouraging women to move their bodies for a purpose beyond aesthetics—doing Kingdom work rather than just chasing a look.”

How did you log your miles?

“I used my Apple Watch to track daily activity. Whether walking to the pool with my kids, hiking in the Smoky Mountains on vacation, or even wading through water, all of it counted. It felt natural to move through life knowing each mile made a difference.”

Did you set a specific mileage goal?

“My team, Glowbody PT, and I committed to moving for the first 24 days of July. This number represents the 24 weeks it takes a baby to become viable outside the womb. It was a manageable goal that made tracking simple and meaningful.”

What has this experience meant to you beyond the physical miles?

“More than fundraising, this campaign raises awareness for a massive culture shift for people to value human life. It’s a reminder that people aren’t alone—even if they feel isolated in their beliefs. We’re standing boldly together for life.”

Diane’s Miles for Moms Journey

Our CEO, Diane Ferraro, took Miles for Moms to heart this summer by hitting the road (and skies!) for the cause.

Diane recently embarked on the trip of a lifetime: fishing in Alaska. Traveling approximately 3,400 miles round trip, Diane committed to donating ten cents for every mile she traveled to support Miles for Moms.

“Although I was a bit seasick the first day, I can’t wait to go back!” Diane shared. “As I reflect on the incredible experience, I’m honored to contribute to this campaign that helps women choose life.”

Diane encourages everyone with summer travel plans—whether by car, plane, train, boat, or bike—to join her in turning miles into life-affirming support.

DEAR READER

We hope this article enlightened and inspired you to stand up for life.

Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortions are still prevalent in our nation. As a response to the overturning, the media: from the news to entertainment sources to even political figures and celebrities, have pushed abortion as an ongoing agenda, shaping the way this generation thinks and acts. Misinformation is being spread every day, and people are sadly believing the lies.

Our articles and stories aim to tell one thing: the truth.

We know that it is both a blessing and a challenge to understand the reality of abortion, because knowledge incites belief, and belief incites action. But we’re in this together. We believe that we can make abortion unthinkable.

With your support, we look forward to a future where young women are empowered to fight for their own rights: a right to bring life into the world, to be fearless leaders, to be examples of hope, strength, and undeterred resilience. We look forward to a future where life can happen.

If this article strengthened your belief to reach women everywhere with the truth and to let life happen, then please consider helping us extend our reach by making a gift right now. Your gift of just $10 or $20 helps our mission to create a story of hope and empowerment for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy.

We aim to create a culture that views “pro-life” as equivalent to having empathy and compassion, providing holistic care (before and beyond pregnancy) and education, and most importantly, choosing to speak and act in love. We are pro-life, pro-love, pro-woman, pro-solution.

Don’t just be part of the movement, be part of the solution, and give today.
