Butterfly Run
Welcome to the 5th Annual Butterfly Run Van Isle in Nanaimo!
The Butterfly Run Van Isle Nanaimo is dedicated to supporting those who have experienced infertility, pregnancy loss, and infant loss by organizing a Run to create community, raise awareness, and fundraise for local and provincial supporting programs.
All proceeds go to supporting Butterfly Support Network and allow us to provide free programs- such as counselling, support groups and peer support for families across British Columbia.
Being a bereaved parent is a path no one should walk alone. Join us in making a difference this year!
