Help us raise money

For participating in Bridget's Run 2020

Help ensure no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone.

All money raised goes toward purchasing "Comfort Kits" for parents grieving the loss of their baby at RVH's OB/Neonatal Unit. Joey and I lost our "Little Us" in June 2017 and not a day has gone by we haven't thought of them. Our Rainbow Baby that we welcomed to the world May 2020, Carter, is a blessing we will never take for granted. He will be joining us this year, in remembering his sibling we never got to meet. THANK YOU to all who donate! These kits would have helped us very much in the time of our loss, so we would love to raise money for as many kits as we can to help other grieving parents when life stands still for them, and show they're not alone and that it's OK to not be OK!

Description

Bridget's Run is a 1km/5km family fun run/walk in recognition of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month and in support of the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Obstetrics Bereavement Program and Bridget's Bunnies.

Bridget's Bunnies is dedicated to ensuring no family endures pregnancy or infant loss alone. In memory of baby Bridget, who was born still just one day shy of her due date, comfort kits are provided to families in the Barrie and surrounding areas who are experiencing a loss. Kits include comfort items, memory makers and resources of support to provide gentle direction and compassion to help parents in the days that follow loss.

As COVID-19 marches on across the nation we know that families will continue to endure pregnancy and infant loss. As a result these families are left to navigate the ramifications of this traumatic experience in an environment of overwhelming uncertainty and fear.

Your support is needed now more than ever.
