THE STORY BEHIND THE RUN
About PAM Foundation
The Pranaiya & Arthur Magoffin Foundation was established to address perinatal mental health problems through awareness and education, care and research. Its goals and reach are global, with much of its on-the-ground work undertaken in Thailand.
In 2021, Hamish lost his wife Pranaiya and their six-month-old son Arthur to postpartum depression. He established PAM Foundation in their names to continue their legacy.
Born and raised in Sydney, Hamish has established the foundation in the UK and US. This run brings that mission to his home city.
