It is now just over three years since I was referred to Dr. Lorraine Natho through the Calgary Women's Health Clinic for support with pregnancy and postpartum anxiety and depression. 

At the time, I was in need of acute support, pregnant with baby #2 and just experienced an International, unplanned move with 2 weeks' notice. 

Thankfully, this referral proved to be exactly what I needed. 

What I didn't realize is how incredibly supportive this program would continue to be in my life and for our family three years later.  

I am forever grateful to Dr. Natho and the Women's Health Clinic, especially at a time in my life when financially it made a significant difference to have it covered, and for the incredible gift of self-awareness and increased mental wellness that it has given me over the past few years. 

Because of this, I want to not only continue to raise awareness for this incredible service but also to raise money in support of other women who will benefit as I have in the future.

Once again this year, our family will be walking the 10km on race day.

Our goal is to raise at least $500 in support of the program. This is a fraction of what it would have cost me to participate in the program, and we feel is the very least we can do. 

We will be posting updates again this year for anyone interested in following our progress and invite you to share the cause and/or donate if circumstances permit.

Thanks for taking the time to learn about this incredible program and for your support - it means the world to us!
