Story

Being a Mum is hard. 

Being a Mum with post-natal depression must be lonely, overwhelming and all-consuming.

I am lucky not to have experienced post-natal depression and anxiety but I know people who have.

On 17th July, a week before I became a Mum for the first time, I will be jumping out of a plane.

I’m not scared of heights but I am frightened of falling. So I’m trying not to think about it too much.

Please help me raise much-needed funds for Acacia Family Support, a small charity who help families across Birmingham who suffer from the effects of pre and post natal depression. They offer Mums and Dads the support they need, to help them through difficult times when they feel they have nowhere to turn.

Thank you so much and wish me luck (hoping I can get video proof of the jump!
