Help ensure no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone.
It was a Saturday that Shawn and I drove up the 400 in shock after saying goodbye to our baby Maggie. Days later the social worker was surprised to find out that we didn't receive the white folder with a list of supports and some minimal guidance. There was an outpouring of support from family and friends asking us what we needed. We had no idea what we needed. A friend anonymously left Bridget's Bunnies comfort kits for the three of us at our door. I had no idea how heavily I would, and still do, rely on those contents to help normalize my feelings and work through my grief. We also would never make it through without the support of our friends, Brianna, Mike and Emma, who help keep Hanna's world stable when ours feels upside down. We run, walk and hop in memory of Maggie Maureen Gosse ❤.

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.
