Amy Kimmel's Fundraiser:

Climb Out of the Darkness is an annual fundraiser and awareness event benefiting Postpartum Progress Inc., a non-profit focused on reaching moms, reducing stigma, and increasing awareness medically and publicly about maternal mental health. We will walk or "climb" the weekend prior to the day of the year with the most light as a symbol of the light shown on postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, and others. 

The event is a healing way for mothers to reclaim their lives or celebrate having come out of the darkness in the past. Friends and family are invited to join in and support them by walking together and by raising funds. The financial aid we gather helps Postpartum Progress work to reach more mothers and health care providers with vital tools for bridging the gap in maternal mental health services. 

Healthy mothers lead to healthy kids and this event is fully kid-friendly!
