Join me in ensuring no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone
At 23 weeks pregnant, doctors discovered that my baby had stopped growing. A few devastating days later, on May 6, 2020, I gave birth to the tiniest baby I'd ever seen. He was very small and weak, and sadly he passed during labour. Sweet little Magnus Catt Stoneman was precious in every way. Although he was too small and frail to survive in the world, he will live forever in our hearts.
Pregnancy loss is devastating, however, the resources in the Bridget's Bunnies care package helped tremendously to deal with the grief felt by myself, my husband, and also Magnus’s grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, and our close friends.
Since then, both of my sisters have also suffered from the loss of a pregnancy. Although our experiences were all different, our friends and family felt a similar pain from their losses. The supports and resources from Bridget's Bunnies have been much appreciated for helping us cope with the grief.
We are walking to raise awareness of pregnancy and infant loss, and raise money so Bridget's Bunnies can continue to support other families. I hope that with donations to Team Magnus, families impacted by infant and pregnancy loss can get the support they need.
Description
Bridget's Run for Pregnancy and Infant Loss is a 1km or 5km charity fun run, walk or hop in support of Bridget's Bunnies Pregnancy and Infant Loss Foundation and individuals and families experiencing loss.
Bridget's Bunnies is dedicated to ensuring no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone through our comfort kit program. Comfort kits include items such as memory makers, books and resources, letters to the parents, and bunnies or special charms to provide gentle direction and compassion in the days following loss.
Comfort Kits are shipped at no cost to recipients or partner organizations. Bridget's Bunnies relies entirely on donations to fund our work.
Our Comfort Kits are available in hospitals and midwifery clinics throughout Simcoe Muskoka and select locations in Ontario, including Ottawa, Sudbury, and Etobicoke. Comfort Kits are currently available on-demand through our website as well.
Bridget's Bunnies was founded in memory of beautiful Bridget Bell Morrison who was unexpectedly born still one day shy of her due date.
Please join us in supporting those parents who follow down this terrible path.
