Moving 100 000 metres in November to raise funds for Perinatal Mental health!

I'm raising $1000 to support the Gidget Foundation to make sure new parents can access help.

After a challenging IVF journey, I gave birth to my magical little boy — and with him came an overwhelming wave of love. The overwhelming joy I felt, was quickly joined by severe anxiety, and I realised I needed help.

I was incredibly lucky. I had a compassionate GP, time in a Mother and Baby Unit, and ongoing support through the Gidget Foundation’s Virtual Village for new parents. That support changed everything. 

Too many parents suffer in silence. Since sharing my experience (Lynn's Story), I’ve heard from so many friends who struggled with their mental health in the perinatal period — but didn’t know where to turn.

That’s why I’m raising funds for the Gidget Foundation: to help other mums and dads get the support they need, when they need it most.

If you’ve ever struggled yourself, or love someone who has — please donate. Every dollar makes a real difference. You could help change, or even save, a new parent’s life.
