That&#8217;s what three of this year&#8217;s Olympians did.

She asked herself: if giving birth is difficult in her privileged circumstances, what must it be like for women all around the world, especially in the world&#8217;s poorest and most difficult corners? So she started a non-profit &#8211; Every Mother Counts &#8211; and now travels the world bringing support to pregnant women and raising money for the cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Gwynne Shotwell: SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell is busy launching humanity on a vast new adventure: interplanetary travel &#8211; and eventually settlements &#8212; beyond Earth.
