WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR... RUN! (OR WALK)Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported the 2nd annual Butterfly Run Ottawa/Gatineau on Saturday October 13, 2018. We are very excited to announce that the 3rd annual Butterfly Run Ottawa will take place on Sunday, October 20, 2019 at 9am!
The 2018 Butterfly Run was named after babies Charlotte and Théo, lost too soon in 2017. The Butterfly Run aims to support individuals and families in the Ottawa region who have experienced a loss during pregnancy, the loss of a child, pregnancy after loss, or are unable to conceive. |
|
It is estimated that 1 in 4 women will experience miscarriage or pregnancy loss (also known as perinatal loss) and that 1 in 6 Canadians experience infertility. |
Being a bereaved parent is a path that no one should walk alone. Thank you for helping us support individuals/families in Ottawa for the 3rd year in a row. |
