My Story…

Once again our family is participating in the Butterfly Run Kelowna, to help raise awareness and support for pregnancy and infant loss. This event and its cause means a lot to our family and any donations you’d like to send this way would mean a lot.

This will be the first year that all six of will be able to wear the official run t-shirts…as Violet is big enough to wear an xs child’s shirt. It will be swimming on her, but she can wear it! Two years ago we did the race while Violet and I were already days past her due date, and my own t-shirt was working overtime! 

We are so grateful to have Violet here, and William, and Henry, and Rose. We don’t take it for granted that these babies are ours and these babies are their own selves and that these babies made it Earthside for us to hug and kiss and watch grow. We wish you and your family love, in all its messy forms. 

Our team profile image is a photo of this past summer, of me (Ruth) with our third born rainbow boy, William, now almost four, who is giving me a delightfully ferocious hug and nose nuzzle.

Donate to help Ruth raise money for Butterfly Run Okanagan 2026’s fundraising campaign.
