After the birth of my first child Daniel, I suffered with post partum psychosis. I went to a mother and baby unit in Winchester. So my challenge is that throughout May I am going to walk the distance from Gloucester to Winchester (85 miles). To raise money for this fantastic charity.

Action on Postpartum Psychosis is a UK charity. We’re here to make sure mums, parents and families are supported through postpartum psychosis – a severe, but treatable, form of mental illness that occurs after having a baby and affects over 1000 new mums in the UK each year.

We offer information and peer support, facilitate ground breaking research, raise awareness and campaign for improved services.

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