Why sponsor the run?
It is estimated that 1 in 4 women in Ottawa/Gatineau will experience a miscarriage or pregnancy loss, and that 1 in 6 experience infertility. While support exists, programs are often relatively unknown and can be hard to access. The taboo surrounding miscarriage, infant loss, and infertility leaves many individuals and families dealing with their grief in isolation.
The Butterfly Run the first charity run of its kind in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. The intention of the Run is to raise awareness and support for individuals and families who have or will experience miscarriage, infant loss, and/or infertility. Individuals and families run or walk to raise money for pediatric palliative care and bereavement programs at Roger Neilson House, a program of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
The 2nd annual run in 2018 was coordinated by an Executive Committee of volunteers, many of whom have personally experienced the pain of miscarriage, infant loss, or infertility.
Being a bereaved parent is a path that no one should walk alone. Your sponsorship will help support individuals and families in the Ottawa/Gatineau area who experience these devastating losses.
Thank you for your consideration.

How will we use your sponsorship?
We are asking for your financial support in order to cover the costs of race day. This includes race signage, kits, and food for the runners and walkers among other costs. Your sponsorship will also leverage the efforts of hundreds of individuals and families in Canada who are working to ensure that all parents have support during and after miscarriage, infant loss, and infertility. The amount a sponsor may contribute is flexible. You could assist us through one of the options provided or a customized package can be created to meet your needs upon request. Tax receipts will not be issued as funds from sponsors will directly support the cost of the Run.
Connect with us if you're interested in another method of payment, or to discuss Sponsorship in greater detail.
