I’m reaching out as I am leading a team for Climb Out of Darkness 2014. It is a walk to raise awareness and funds for Postpartum Progress and support maternal mental health. My deep hope is to also build some local community and even start a peer support group with other moms in the area.
The Berkeley Climb is on Saturday, June 21st at 9:30 am, Inspiration Point in Tilden Park (more details TBA- the trail is stroller friendly).
Participants DO NOT have to fundraise to be a part of it. As a mom who struggles with PPD/PPA, I understand that sometimes it is hard enough to get out the door, never mind asking other folks for money while you do it! Raising money for this wonderful organization is great — getting connection and support is even better!
