Volunteers are planning walks across Canada, which raise funds for crucial postpartum services for new parents and their families. The walk is lovingly named after Flora, a Canadian mom who tragically lost her life to a perinatal mental health disorder a few months after her daughter was born in 2022.
Our fundraising goal for this year is $5000! Donate or join our team to fundraise and walk here: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/healthy-start-healthy-future-inc/p2p/FlorasWalk2024/team/floras-walk-guelph

If you would like to participate, sponsor, or help organize in any way, please reach out to [email protected] with any questions. Find more info on Flora's Walk Guelph here: https://www.michellegreenrp.com/floraswalkguelph

30% of the funding goes towards supporting the good work of the Life With a Baby Foundation Peer Support Programs and 70% off funds raised go back to our local Guelph Community.
This year, we are so excited to announce that our funding recipient will be:
𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐡'𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦
The CAMP program at Guelph Community Health Centre provides pregnancy, postpartum and reproductive care for folks experiencing barriers within our health system. They serve two main priority populations:
1) folks who are racialized, uninsured, or newcomers
2) folks with a history of using substances, who are experiencing homelessness, or who have complex mental health.
Their team of four Registered Midwives provide clinical care at no cost to their clients.
The money fundraised through Flora’s walk will be applied to their outreach and supportive programs like their group drop-in programs including one for racialized parents.
