THE STORY:
JUNE 18th 10am- NOON Druid Hill Park- Swann Pavilion
Postpartum Progress’ Climb Out of the Darkness™ is the world’s largest event raising awareness of maternal mental illnesses like postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety & OCD, postpartum PTSD, postpartum psychosis, postpartum bipolar disorder, and pregnancy depression and anxiety. Climb Out is held on or near the longest day of the year to help shine the most light on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. The event features mothers and others across the globe joining together to climb mountains and hike trails to represent their symbolic rise out of the darkness of maternal mental illness and into the light of hope and recovery. Funds raised support the 501c3 organization Postpartum Progress (http://postpartumprogress.org)
THIS YEAR: Baltimore is one of only a few cities chosen as a location for a grant award. A portion of funds raised will go directly to a local free postpartum support group.
We can’t wait for Climb Out of the Darkness 2016, to be held SATURDAY June 18th. Mark your calendars!
Carrie Flora, Samantha Dowd and Emily Newton are co-leading this year's climb at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore. You can help us raise funds, join us at the climb, or both! Feel free to bring your kids, hubby/ partner, family and friends (just make sure they register!) Climb out hon!!
