Thank you from the Postpartum Resource Center of New York to the close to 700 supporters during Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month who joined us for the 11th Annual Sounds of Silence 5K/10K Run/Walk/Stroller-Walk with Kid’s Fun Run in Memory of Lisa Mary Reilly!
Saturday, May 11th was a special and beautiful day as we gathered at Jones Beach State Park to celebrate moms and their families and honor the memory of Lisa Mary Reilly.
We all came together to break the silence and stigma of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (including pregnancy and postpartum depression/anxiety and postpartum psychosis), to raise awareness and raise much needed funds to support the essential programs and services of the Postpartum Resource Center of New York.
The event continues to grow through the years and build upon the Community of Caring that the Postpartum Resource Center of New York is all about. The amazing Sounds of Silence, Friends of the Postpartum Resource Center of New York, a Fundraising Committee of the Postpartum Resource Center of New York provides this very special opportunity for everyone to come together and build financial support for an important cause. As one participant shared at the end "I have never felt like this after an event. I feel like I am going home with a super big hug and feel so supported and understood about the struggles I have faced with my mental health and know that people care."
It was extra special to meet in person so many moms, family members and friends supported by the Postpartum Resource Center of New York and inspired by their participation in the annual Sounds of Silence Run who made the effort to travel and be at and support the event! We celebrate you on your journey of hope and inspiration to others! Hugs and much love to you all! We are grateful to our Virtual Runners too who joined us by participating in their own communities!
With tremendous thanks and with much appreciation to Erin Mascaro Race Director/Event Co-Chair/Co-Founder of the Sounds of Silence, Friends of the Postpartum Resource Center of New York for making this event possible with the SOS Team! Erin is an inspiration to us all!
