Jenny's Light


I wanted to introduce you to a non profit named after Jennifer Gibbs Bankston. The NFP was started by her family after she and her baby Graham died last December and aims to increase awareness of postpartum depression. It was brought to my attention because Jenny's brother is Randy Gibbs, one of the wax techs I work with on the US Ski Team. Postpartum illnesses were not part of my awareness until this happened and while it's tragic that Jenny suffered from this I'm grateful that I've been educated about it just in case I'm ever in a position to notice or help other cases of postpartum depression. I would encourage you to go to Jenny's Light website, look around and educate yourself about postpartum illnesses.
