More about the event & organization:

The Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Collaborative (CPMHC) is holding its third annual national fundraiser walkathon – Flora’s Walk for Perinatal Mental Health. The term perinatal refers to anyone in the pregnancy or postpartum period who suffering from mental health (i.e. Postpartum depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis). The walk is named after Flora Babakhani, a Canadian mom who tragically lost her life to untreated postpartum psychosis on January 14th, 2022. Moms, babies, family & friends are all invited to join for a stroller walk to discuss, promote and support perinatal mental health. Read more about Flora at: https://cpmhc.ca/floras-story/

This year, the money raised by Team Haldimand will go to: 

75% of the funds raised go back into supporting access to perinatal services in our community! More info about these services to come!
25% of the funds raised will go towards administrative costs and improving perinatal mental health advocacy efforts at the CPMHC.

 We invite you to participate in any way that feels natural to you! We would love if you signed up for a fundraising page and joined Team Haldimand to help us get vital funds into the hands of postpartum moms and families right here in Haldimand County. We are also looking for business sponsors and raffle prize donations!
