My wife and I are running our first ever marathon to raise money for APP. It’s a charity very close to our hearts.

After the birth of our twins, my wife Rachel suffered from Postpartum Psychosis. The experience is one of the worse things I’ve ever been through but APP helped me realise my wife would get through it and recover.

Having never even heard of Postpartum Psychosis until Rachel’s diagnosis made the whole situation, her delusions, hallucinations and then the confusion of what is was, much more difficult, not least with two premature babies as well!!

So anything we can do to raise awareness and to help other families going through the same thing means an awful lot to us.

Please share this and anything you can give will make a huge difference.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) 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 1400 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.
