Middle Peninsula, VA

My daughter was born in 2013 while my husband was active duty.  We had no friends or family nearby so I was feeling very alone.  I could tell something something wasn't right but my doctor wasn't very interested in listening to the details, she just chalked it up as PPD and sent me on my way.  I wasn't depressed, it was something else and it was up to me to figure it out.

Through some intense Google sessions I stumbled upon an article titled, "The Symptoms of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety in Plain Mama English."  I read that article probably ten times.  

I WASN'T ALONE!!!  I WAS NORMAL!!!

I'm at a point in my life now that I want to help other moms and families.  I want them to know that they aren't alone either, what they're feeling is more common than we know.  We are not just a mental illness or a statistic, we are WARRIORS!!!

This walk is so close to my heart that I will Climb to fight the stigma, I will Climb to raise awareness, I will Climb Out of the Darkness to help help all moms.

I want you to join me.  Register today to be part of the Middle Peninsula, VA team and together we can help change the world.
