What is Pound the Pavement for Parenthood?
Pound the Pavement for Parenthood is a non-profit organization founded in 2010 by Utah local, Jill Witt, in effort to help Utah couples feel comfortable with sharing their story of infertility and build emotional and financial support for those pursuing treatment or adoption.
Infertility affects 1 out of 8 couples. 30% of infertility cases have been classified as female factor, 30% male factor, and 30% are classified as a combination of both female and male factor. The remaining 10% of cases, the causes are unknown. Because of the wide range of causes treatment methods are just as complex. The cost of treatments and adoption can become daunting and even hit points of $15,000.00.
Pound the Pavement for Parenthood is committed to connecting couples so they have the support they need as they endure their infertility.

Oh my gosh, that is so wonderful! I know many people give up on fertility treatment because they can’t afford it. I’m so glad to hear about this and if I were in Utah, would probably participate.
I love this. I didn’t have my only (successful what’s the word ugh) baby until I was 40. What a lovely cause!!!
What a great cause, love it – wishing all the success in the world with this. Wish I was in the same part of the world…(currently in Queensland, Australia). 🙂
This is a great cause. I wish this great success! Things like this has the ability to touch so many lives in a positive way. Thanks for sharing.
I’m not a runner, but I could walk it!
