What is Flora’s Walk?
During the month of May, walks are held across Canada to raise funds for perinatal mental health services in local communities and to honour the memory of Flora, a Canadian mother who tragically died due to undetected and untreated postpartum psychosis.

What’s especially unique about Flora’s Walk is that 70% of funds raised by teams stay in local communities to help organizations involved in perinatal mental health work in Canada.

Every dollar counts and your donation will make a real difference in someone’s life.
