Help us raise money

For participating in Butterfly Run Ottawa 2024

Our story…

Hi everyone,

It's almost time for this year's Butterfly Run! This year is another virtual event and we hope you can run/walk (wherever you are) to help raise awareness for this great cause. This year's Butterfly Run will be held October 6th.

The Butterfly Run aims to raise awareness and support around pregnancy loss, infant loss, pregnancy after loss, and infertility in Ottawa and surrounding areas. All proceeds from the run are donated to Roger Neilson House (RNH), a pediatric palliative care hospice.
Our beautiful daughter,  Ellie Lynn Murphy, was born peacefully on June 12, 2019. Our team, Unicorns for Ellie, will be walking this year to raise money for the Roger Neilson House. We hope you will join our team and make this the best year yet!

We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing posts of your walk/run in support of the Butterfly Run this year!
