100km For Gidget

In the month of October I’m walking 100km to raise much needed funds for the Gidget Foundation. 

This is a cause very close to my heart, as after the birth of my son I experienced serious Postnatal Depression, Anxiety and OCD. The Gidget foundation were instrumental in my recovery with access to a psychologist that specialises in postpartum care completely covered by Medicare. 

I’m aiming to raise $1500 as this can cover a family’s complete care, utilising Gidget Foundation Australia’s specialist perinatal team, for a whole year.
