Help Darlene raise money

For participating in Butterfly Run Ottawa

My Story…

Hello Friends & Family,

I am happy to be participating in the Butterfly Run again this year to raise funds for RNH's Perinatal Bereavement program in honour of our dear son Michael Amaechi Ashikwe!  Despite his short time with us, Michael has left an incredible impact on our lives and we miss him dearly.  As devastating as his loss was, it was of great comfort to know that I was not alone.  I met some wonderful people through RNH and their support along with that of friends and family really helped me get back to living, and not just existing.  

I am happy to be involved and bring light to this very important issue of perinatal loss, so I'm Marching for Michael and all the little souls gone from us too soon. 


New this year:  

For every donation of $50 or more you will receive a Homemade Handpicked fresh off the backyard tree Darlene's Famous Dutch Apple Pie   (while supplies last)

Donate to help Darlene raise money for Butterfly Run Ottawa’s fundraising campaign.
