Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many of you know I struggled with postnatal depression after having Michael.  I've been lucky enough to be able to make this horrific time into something positive by working for Cocoon Family Support and being able to support expectant and new parents who may been feeling the same.

I decided to walk a marathon (over 10 days, let's not get too overexcited...) because parenthood is a marathon, not a race.  Being a new parent can feel like a competition - whose baby is sleeping through, who is crawling, walking, feeding, talking, learning the quickest - but actually we all deserve medals for getting through each day.

This is an uncertain time for charities, Cocoon included.  It is difficult to provide the services and support we want to.  We are having to invest in new technology, increase our hours, think of new ways to do things.  Fundraising becomes more and more difficult and so we are asking, please donate if you can. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for helping us to support families to find their wings xx
