About Kora Burton
Kora Burton is a loss mom and full-term stillbirth and birth trauma survivor. In honor of her son born in April 2023, Kora runs the Marlo Means Fun Marathon, an annual video game charity stream raising money to support loss families and champion change in the healthcare system for moms and babies. She believes in the power of sitting together in the darkness, being loud about the love for our children who have run on ahead, and challenging societal stereotypes about pregnancy and infant loss, grief, and complex forms of parenthood. Kora has personally benefited immensely from participating in Reblossom's support groups, and feels honored to listen to others' stories of pain born from love.
