Running for postnatal depression/anxiety

Wellington

I have signed up to run the Wellington Round the Bays half marathon on 16th February 2020 and I would like to fundraise for Little Shadow. Last June I ran the Wellington 10km event & with all of your support, fundraised over $2000 for Little Shadow - a charity that provides counselling & support to parents & families experiencing post natal depression/anxiety.

Some of the money fundraised was used to support a woman struggling with post natal depression. This woman's story was incredibly sad because she was suffering in silence and had to keep her depression a secret from her husband and family due to their strict religious and cultural beliefs. Little Shadow provided her with counselling and help. I have personally gone through post natal anxiety and know how tough it is. I would love to be able to help more people struggling with this. My goal is to raise $1000 but any donation no matter how small is very much appreciated.

I am aiming to complete the 21.5km in under 1hour 50 mins. Thank you everyone
