A little bit about myself.... I have a wonderful family which consists of my husband and our two children, Oscar and Dottie. I used the Smile groups myself after the births of both children after facing my own perinatal mental health challenges. It's not an exaggeration to say they are literally life saving, and provided me with the support, advice and love I needed to get through an extremely tough time. I'm happy to say I came out the other side of my struggles and have recently become a group facilitator for this fantastic organisation.

As a small, independent charity, Smile are reliant on fundraising in order to remain sustainable and help reach as many parents as possible.

After turning 40 this year I decided it would be a great opportunity to challenge myself physically and mentally and take part in the National three peaks, hoping to raise lots of funds and awareness for Smile!
