In October I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon, eeeeeeeeek! This December it will be 8 years since I gave birth to my beautiful big boy, and unexpectedly found myself experiencing something which some of my close friends and family members have faced on a daily basis - the challenge of crippling depression. Following a terribly traumatic delivery, I found myself diagnosed with post-natal depression even before I was discharged from hospital, and there started the long slog back to being well again. I was lucky, thanks to the support of some very special individuals who know who they are, a brilliant psychiatrist who had faith in me when I had none and an amazing health visitor who kept coming to see me long after she should have stopped, I got better. Hell, I even went on to have another baby! 

Heads On is the charity for Sussex Partnership, the mental health trust. As I found out, we never know when we might need their help, so please sponsor me and help support people facing mental health challenges when they need us most.

Thank you so much! Big love, Rachael x
