Canterbury

Hi there,

My name is Rodney and I am the Deputy Chairperson for PND Canterbury. This April I am partaking in the annual Graperide cycle event based in Blenheim. It consists of riding 101km throughout the region.

PND Canterbury rely solely on donations in order to run our support groups and playgroup for parents suffering from postnatal depression and anxiety. With 25% of mothers and 10% of fathers experiencing this illness there is a huge need for support services.

Any donation is gratefully received and of course will make me ride faster!

Please check out our website http://pndcanterbury.co.nz/ to see what amazing work we do within the Canterbury region for not only mums, but their families as well.
