Help Samantha raise money

For participating in Bridget's Run 2021

Help ensure no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone.

On June 15th 2021, our baby boy Oakley was born still at 26 weeks. Oakley’s cause of death was a knot in his umbilical cord. There is less than a 1% chance of that happening during pregnancy.

Our lives were forever changed that day. Pregnancy loss is scary uncharted territory for many. I’m hoping that by sharing Oakley’s story, I can help support someone else who is going through PAIL, just like I’ve been supported by so many incredible people! 

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 Bridget's Bunnies and our community partners providing bereavement support for families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.

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.
