Love Our Children USA announced today the first Mothers Who Make A Difference List. Parenting is one of the most difficult jobs there is. As Mother’s Day approaches and, at a time when violence against children has reached epidemic proportions, we recognize mothers throughout the country who truly make a difference. Most of the moms who made the list are celebrities, yet there are some moms who are working mothers who still find the time to be loving and nurturing mothers who do make a difference! Ross Ellis, Chief Executive Officer of Love Our Children USA said “we are proud and honored to begin this annual tradition to honor and celebrate these selfless and caring women who contribute so much to their children, families and to various causes.” Ellis also stated “Their children come first. No matter how busy they are, these women serve as role models for all mothers.” Love Our Children USA not only works to prevent violence against children but, works to educate parents for the way we live today. The 2006 Mothers Who Make A Difference List includes: Lisa Caputo, Barbara Corcoran, Yvette Corporon, Katie Couric, Cindy Crawford, Melissa Etheridge, Beth Feldman, Joan Hamburg, Teri Hatcher, Goldie Hawn, Faith Hill, Kate Hudson, Felicity Huffman, Margo Judge, Nancy Kerrigan, Isabel Kersen (Posthumous), Caroline Kennedy, Alex Kingston, Martina McBride, Wendy Moniz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kelly Ripa, Doris Roberts, Rene Syler, Meredith Viera, Frederique Van Der Wal, Silda Wall, Barbara Walters, Rita Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, Alfre Woodard and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
