Support women with perinatal depression and anxiety through Mothers Helpers and help me experience an amazing adventure showing on TV!

Auckland

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 for one week in September 2019. 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 awareness and much needed funds for Mothers Helpers. This charity's mission is to prevent perinatal (antenatal and postnatal) depression or anxiety from occurring and reduce the impact it has by providing support and recovery.

In NZ 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. Delays in diagnosis and treatment may result in their child becoming at-risk for serious cognitive, emotional, mental and behavioural issues. Mothers Helpers provides face to face support for those ineligible including free or low cost courses and other support. 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 and 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.
