Join me in ensuring no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone
Last year when we lost Scarlett, we had an overwhelming feeling of loneliness. We didn't know anyone who had endured the tragic loss of a baby, and had no one to turn to for support. Before we left the hospital without our baby, we were gifted a care package filled with books, baby mementos we were able to use with Scar, resources for bereaved parents, and other comforts - all put together by Bridget's Bunnies. This comfort kit played an indispensable role in getting us through the darkest time in our lives.
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Awareness Month. We have been eagerly anticipating a way to get involved, raise awareness about PAIL, and help give back to this community that supported us.
So, on October 21, we will be completing a 5km run in honour of Scar and other angel babies with hopes to raise money for Bridgets Bunnies, so that they can continue to help other bereaved parents the same way they helped us.
Thank you so much, we appreciate your support!
Love,
Allysa, Alex & Scarlett Rain
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.
