We invite you to spend the day with us!


The 2022 Butterfly Run, Walk + Flutter is

in-person & virtual!


Sunday, October 2

Ned Brown/Busse Woods, Grove #26

Elk Grove Village, IL.


The Butterfly Run Walk + Flutter is a fun, family-oriented charity event for individuals of all fitness levels who want to be part of celebrating our children. The event features a professionally chip-timed 5k run, 1 mile walk, and a Flutter Fun Run for kids of all ages. Bring the family to enjoy the run and the party in the park! There will be children’s activities, entertainers, music, and opportunities to connect with healthcare teams and other families!

If you are unable to join us on October 2, gather your family and head out to the park, your backyard or a favorite spot to complete your 1-mile walk or 5k on your own time. Or if you prefer the solitude, take this opportunity to reflect and remember your loved one during a solo walk/run.

We encourage families to send us photos & videos and wear t-shirts celebrating your children and your stories with us by October 10! Be on the lookout for our virtual highlights!

We walk for our children. We walk for their memories. We walk together in support of GIPPCC & Missing Pieces and our mission to support seriously ill children and grieving families.
