Miles (300) for Maternal Mental Health

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Action on Postpartum Psychosis and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Action on Postpartum Psychosis: Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) is the National charity for women and families affected by Postpartum Psychosis (PP).

PP is a severe mental illness which begins suddenly following childbirth. Over 1400 women experience PP each year in the UK (1 to 2 in every 1000 mothers).

We run an award-winning peer support service, develop patient information, offer training to frontline health professionals, facilitate research and promote greater public awareness of PP and campaign for improved services.

Hi everyone - I’m taking on a challenge in May. It’s to walk 300 miles throughout the month of May as Maternal Mental Health Week falls into this month. I’m doing it to raise money for Action for Postpartum Psychosis (APP) who are an amazing charity who support women who have experienced Postpartum Psychosis, many of who will have been admitted to MBUs or acute mental health wards. The reason I’ve chosen 300 miles is because this is the distance between the current only MBU in wales (Swansea) and the new MBU that I’m developing that has 2 beds for women in north wales as well as 6 beds for the women of Cheshire and Merseyside and back.
