Kira Martin is an inspiration, a mother of five and a body builder. When I watched her powerful video, I knew others would want to hear her story too!

Asking a nurse "Is my baby dead?" has to be one of the most devastating questions a parent can ever have to ask. Her journey through that fifth birth encapsulated so many challenges that to see where she is now, is amazing!

Perseverance, tenacity, belief in one's self, determination are all elements that Kira's story exudes.

We salute mother's like Kira who walk the walk to inspire others.
