My Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I will be attempting to run the Brighton Marathon on April 2nd 2023 to raise awareness for Postpartum Psychosis and to raise money for APP.
I know from experience how Postpartum Psychosis affects mums and families and how important APP's work is in helping their recovery.
Any donations, no matter how small would be very much appreciated!
This will be my first marathon - wish me luck!
