Since I don’t think I’ve shared a recent list here on the blog of all the Climbs for Climb out of the Darkness, I wanted to today. I want you to see, in full, all the Climbs taking place to raise awareness for PPD. Amazing! And what’s better is that these are all survivors – people who’ve been there and know what it’s like and know that you can get better with help. Many of them are being joined by family and friends and other Warrior Moms.

We are now up to 39 states and 7 countries, and have raised nearly $33,000 and are still going strong. And you can still join in if you’d like! If there’s a Climb you want to join or you want to do your own, email us at postpartumprogress@gmail.com!

P.S. If you already joined or created a hike and aren’t listed here, please let me know!
