Renate takes on TV for charity

It’s true... I have been selected to star in a ground-breaking TV show!

This award-winning television project involves me undertaking a life-changing adventure while being filmed by an international TV crew. The footage will be used as part of an inspiring TV series to screen across New Zealand in 2019.

As part of the pre-filming process I have committed to raising much-needed funds for Mothers Helpers. This fantastic charity provides support and treatment for women dealing with depression during pregnancy and after birth.

11,000 women experience Perinatal Depression/Anxiety every year. 75% won't meet the criteria for Maternal Mental Health and there are virtually no funded treatment options available beyond medication. Mothers Helper provides a holistic recovery programme where 65% of mothers attending are recovering from ANDA or PNDA, and all mothers that attend are having an average of 51% improvement in depression scores. The money raised will ensure that Mothers Helpers can help more women to recover from perinatal depression or anxiety.

The inspiring project I have committed to combines adventure, travel, philanthropy and television. My aim is to attract a minimum of $10,000 in donations... but I need your support. To assist me in this life-changing journey (and to see me star on national TV!), please generously donate to help me achieve my fundraising goal. Thank you sincerely for your kind support.
