The Caregiver Supporter

The Life-Saver
Orlaith Staunton, 57, Founder of the Rory Staunton Foundation for Sepsis Prevention
"When my perfectly healthy 12-year-old son Rory suddenly died of sepsis after getting a cut on his elbow, I thought This must be so rare, but I came to find out it kills more than a quarter million Americans every year. When a tragedy happens, you become motivated through grief or anger to make change, and that's what I'm doing in my 50s. Rory's Regulations — a set of mandatory sepsis protocols required for every hospital — are law in New York now. The protocols save 7,000 plus lives a year just in NY, so other states are following suit. And it all goes back to one little boy — mine."

The Tech Teacher
Estella Pyfrom, 80, Founder of Estella's Brilliant Bus, a mobile learning center for children without access to computers or the Internet
"At this age, I can still give back to my community and be an inspiration to senior women who feel that they are too old to make a difference. They're not! The goal of Estella's Brilliant Bus is to help bridge the digital divide gap between those who have and those who do not. Even at 80, it's not where you came from, it's where you're going."

The Women's Health Advocate
Anne Garrett Addison, 55, Co-Founder of The Preeclampsia Foundation
"In 1999, I nearly died in childbirth, and I started the Preeclampsia Foundation to improve diagnosis, management and prevention of preeclampsia. As a mom of four boys, I've reinvented myself several times. Now, in my 50s, I am finally in a place where I can be the woman who turns around, holds out her hand and says, 'You can do this. I did it. You can make it too.'"
