Sarah's ToughMudder for APP
APP supporter Sarah Pujol is taking on the gruelling Tough Mudder South West obstacle course to help raise funds for APP and awareness of postpartum psychosis (PP).
Sarah has chosen to take on this challenge to mark three years to the day that she became unwell with PP after the birth of her daughter.
She wants to celebrate how far she's come and use her recovery journey to inspire and make a difference.
Sarah says: 'Tough Mudder, with its gruelling physical and mental challenges, serves as a symbolic representation of my belief that today, there's nothing I cannot overcome. The obstacles on the course reflect the hurdles life throws at us, and as I navigate mud pits and conquer towering walls, I'll be proving to myself and others that, after facing the darkest moments of my life, resilience and inner strength can conquer all.'
She's chosen to support APP through this event because 'APP introduced me to a community of genuine and caring people who helped me navigate the loneliness and complexities of this illness, and played a huge part in my recovery.'
Sarah is now a volunteer peer supporter for APP herself, supporting women and families who have also been affected by PP.
She will be providing regular updates on her training and her progress on the day of her challenge via her instagram page, plus you can read more and add your support for this challenge here.
Thank you Sarah and good luck!
