Story

I always said I would NEVER do a fundraiser as a lot of activities I would happily do for free and so felt cheeky asking for sponsors.

I always said I would NEVER do a marathon because why on earth would I, she who does not run further than 10k (that one time), contemplate attempting to run that far?!

ALAS, I have NEVER felt more strongly about the above and even more so strongly about the cause below. APP can provide support, make ways for change and help promote PP. Please help me spread the word and love!

Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) is a UK charity. We’re here to make sure mums, parents and families are supported through postpartum psychosis – a severe, but treatable, form of mental illness that occurs after having a baby and affects 1400 new mums in the UK each year.

We offer information and peer support, facilitate ground breaking research, raise awareness and campaign for improved services.

Our life changing peer support network helps women and families affected by postpartum psychosis feel understood, supported and less isolated.

If you donate, instead of leaving a message to push me on please can you provide a song for me to add to the playlist I'll have blasting in my ears on Race Day. That will provide apt support when I hear something reminding me of you, you lovely lot!
