Aaron's Butterfly Run Featured on Daytime ottawa tv

9/18/2017

0 Comments

 
Yesterday, Aaron's Butterfly Run Ottawa/Gatineau was featured on Daytime Ottawa Rogers TV. Rachel Samulack (Aaron's mom and lead coordinator of Aaron's Butterfly Run) and Amanda DeGrace (one of our volunteers) spoke to Dylan Black about pregnancy and infant loss.

Rachel and Amanda highlighted some of the resources that are available to individuals and families in our community who experience such losses. For example, thanks to Mom Friends and Just Change Ottawa, our region will now have Butterfly Boxes - boxes filled with information and resources for those who experience miscarriage or infant loss. The Butterfly Box will be officially launched this evening from 7-9 PM at the Heart & Crown in the market. We would love it if you could join us to celebrate and learn more about the Butterfly Box.

They also highlighted the upcoming run on Saturday October 14th. You can register here.

You can view the full interview segment below.


Thank you Dylan Black, Daytime Ottawa and Rogers TV for your support!

rachel and rob SAMuLACK'S interview with ctv ottawa

Yesterday, Rachel and Rob Samulack (parents of Aaron Samulack and coordinators of Aaron's Butterfly Run) had the opportunity to talk to CTV Ottawa about the Perinatal Loss Bereavement Support Group at Roger Neilson House.

Here's what Rachel and Rob have to say about their experience with the Perinatal Loss Bereavement Support Group:
"Through our group in fall 2016, we met other parents who also faced the devastating loss of their much loved babies.  We shared our pregnancy and birth stories, our hopes, and fears for the future in eight sessions.  We continued meeting with our support group on a Facebook group and in-person after the official support group ended in December 2016.  We shared many highs and lows as a group and are looking forward to welcoming two new little additions to the group later in 2017.  This fall, the parents in our support group will gather at Roger Neilson House for the annual star ceremony.  Each baby will be given a star with their name on it in the play room. There is a lovely painting of butterflies in the middle of the wall of the stars.  It's a bright, beautiful space where our stars will shine down on us and remind us that though they are gone, our babies are not forgotten."
"You are my angel, my darling, my star... and my love will find you, wherever you are." 
- Nancy Tillman, Wherever You Are, My Love Will Find You
