After suffering from some postpartum mental health issues that resulted in some time spent in hospital with Beau, I wanted to raise awareness to a cause close to my heart, Action on Postpartum Psychosis.

Without the support of various NHS services and charities such as APP, I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't here to be able to run this half marathon so I feel proud to run on behalf of such a worthy cause.

We'd love if you could spare even a few pounds to raise money for APP and support us as we attempt to run this in a reasonable time!

Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) is a UK charity. They’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.

They offer information and peer support, facilitate ground breaking research, raise awareness and campaign for improved services. Their life changing peer support network helps women and families affected by postpartum psychosis feel understood, supported and less isolated.
