Story
I took on this challenge last year to raise some much needed money for this wonderful charity, and I’ll be doing the same again this year!
Running everyday is a challenge in itself, but to do 5k in between nights, before, after work makes it more of a challenge!
Thankfully I have not suffered from postpartum psychosis(PPS), but have been very much affected by postnatal depression after having both my babies-a very hard thing to go through.
I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone, and I certainly feel for those families who have been affected with PPS.
Soooooo, here I go again, 5K (at least) everyday in May! I’ll be running post nights, after/before work and for many of the days I’ll have my (not so) little side kick Molly with me in the running buggy.
I would be so very grateful for any donation you have to spare ☺️
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.
