About the event
Please join us in supporting maternal mental health on Sunday, May 12th, 2024 (Mother’s Day!) at McNamara Park in Galena, Ohio, for our Inaugural Mom Day 5k + Kiddo Dash! A gathering for all “mom kind” and those affected by pregnancy struggles (miscarriages, stillbirths, hyperemesis gravidarum, infertility, and beyond) as well as postpartum struggles (anxiety, depression, isolation, and beyond). Family members, caregivers, fur moms, and all humankind will be welcomed! Proceeds raised will be donated to POEM Ohio (Perinatal Outreach and Encouragement for Moms), which offers support, resources, referrals, and a sense of community to help moms and birthing persons in Ohio feel heard, understood, and empowered. You don’t have to be a mom to join us, either. We welcome all runners, walkers, joggers, and community members to come out and enjoy a special morning together.
Did you know postpartum depression and other mental health conditions are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth? More than 30% of new moms & birthing persons experience them, according to POEM. We get to change this, one stride at a time.
Post-Race Celebration of MotherhoodStick around after the race for a family-friendly festival, with a focus on small business owners here locally who also happen to be moms. Artisans, crafts, home goods, and more will be on display and available for sampling. More details to come! If you’re interested in being a vendor, please email us at [email protected]
