Charlotte and her huge team of 25 runners (!) completed the Richmond 10K last weekend, in memory of her sister, Amy. They had a wonderfully supportive, sunny, and emotional day, celebrating Amy's life on Saturday 20th October running in Richmond.
Charlotte said "The support has been simply amazing and it’s down to Ames being the wonderful person she was; completely adored and the best mum ever. It was an emotional day but the sun was shining."
Thank you to Angela, who is running the Reading Rivermead 10km on Sunday 4th November in aid of APP!
Angela says: "Three years ago I personally benefited from attending the 'APP art retreat in Devon', which was a really positive experience. Mothers who had recovered or in recovery were able to meet, eat, enjoy each others company, share experiences and heal through actively participating in art projects. This was an extremely beneficial and therapeutic experience for everyone who attended and I knew then that I wanted to give back and do something to raise awareness of this small charity which greatly benefits women who have suffered from Postpartum Psychosis. I hope with your help we can raise some money for APP and help women with their recovery and support their research too."
Please support Angela and donate via her JustGiving page here.
Thank you so much Angela, we hope you have a fantastic day on 4th November and wish you all the best with the training!

We were very sad to say goodbye to APP’s Treasurer and Trustee, Sue Blamire, who retired at the end of March 2018 after 8 years. Staff and Trustees had a whip-round for a thank you present.
After 6 years in the making, it’s a wrap for Iain Cunningham’s film Irene’s Ghost, which is premiering at the BFI London Film Festival this Autumn! Thank you to all the APP experts and volunteers who worked with Iain when he was researching his film, and to the many APP members who were filmed during Iain’s research.
Charlotte and her team are taking on the Richmond Autumn Riverside 10k run on Saturday 20th October in aid of APP, in memory of her sister, Amy.
Three Cheers for Sophie who completed the Stafford 10K on Sunday 23rd September in aid of APP!
Sophie decided to support APP after her sister suffered with Postpartum Psychosis, and received help from APP, she says: "Since their return home from the unit my sister has gone from strength to strength, I couldn’t be more proud of what she has achieved whilst raising Bea who is blossoming every single day. She has since benefited from the services APP offer, listening and reading about other people who have suffered from the same illness has helped her endlessly."
