Story
So I decided to climb a mountain, the last time I did that was 20 years ago when I went camping with friends in the Lake District after my GSCEs. But when I saw that One Fit Mama were again doing their sponsored hike to help mums with post natal depression I had to be involved.
This is a cause that is close to my heart. I struggled and continue to be affected with post-natal depression following the birth of my second daughter, Sienna. Like many mums I knew something was wrong but did not seek help until Sienna was a year old. Even when I did speak out, the help I received (mainly medication) was not exactly helpful.
The support that One Fit Mama give by providing counselling, haircuts, free classes and other holistic support go a long way to help mums who have struggled. Sometimes my One Fit Mama classes were the only time I left the house other than for childcare. That 45 minutes of just getting active and doing something was the first step (of many) to help me out of the hole I got myself in.
Nearly 3 years on I still struggle with the impact that postnatal depression had on me so when I saw this, it felt like the perfect time and challenge to climb a little bit more out of that hole. The date of the hike is also quite poignant being the 10th anniversary of when I lost my mum.
I aim to raise £250 to help other mums find the light out of their hole. I will also be blogging about my journey over at my blog on Family Life Worcestershire.

5 years agoThank you so so much to everyone who has sponsored me and taken me over my target. Yesterday was the big day and we enjoyed a sunny and successful climb up and down Scafell Pike. It was more challenging than I thought and my legs are certainly telling me they worked hard. The total amount raise by everyone is more than £2000 as it stands , the is the equivalent of helping 100 mums onto an exercise course to help alleviate the symptoms of pnd. I'm absolutely thrilled that it's been so worthwhile.
