My Story

About us

Hi, Jo and I are running the Great North Run in September for APP.  We would appreciate your support if you can to help raise funds for this amazing charity.  As many of you know I work with women suffering a severe mental illness following childbirth and it is vital that our families are supported. Suicide remains the leading cause of maternal deaths in the first year post partum, but these illnesses are treatable and women recover.  Supporting APP will help raise awareness of this illness.  Please support us if you can   It would be very much appreciated. 💕

Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) are the national charity supporting and advocating for mums and families affected by postpartum psychosis (PP) - a severe but treatable mental illness that begins in the days and weeks after giving birth and affects 1400 new mums in the UK each year.

APP offers information and peer support, facilitates ground breaking research, raises awareness and campaigns for improved services.

Their life changing, life saving peer support network helps women and families affected by postpartum psychosis feel understood, supported and less isolated.
