ABOUT BRIDGET'S BUNNIES
Bridget's Bunnies Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support works to ensure no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone. In memory of Bridget, who was born still just one day shy of her due date, Comfort Kits are provided to grieving parents throughout Simcoe Muskoka and Ontario who experience a pregnancy or infant loss.

FUNDRAISING
Funds raised meet parents in their moment of crisis through our Comfort Kit Program and further down the road through our Little Loss Libraries, Grief Greeting Cards, and local pregnancy and infant loss efforts. By encouraging others to donate, you give them the opportunity to join our mission of uniting a community of support, education, and advocacy for individuals and families who have experienced loss.
Once you register for Bridget’s Run, you automatically get your very own fundraising page! It's easy to personalize and even easier to share. This page isn’t just a tool; it’s a way to invite others into something meaningful. When you share your story, your “why”, you help us build a chorus of compassion that reaches even further.
🎉 Raise $50 or more and you’ll receive and exclusive prize. Raise $150+ and we'll add a second exclusive prize.
This is your chance to make an impact that lingers long after race day. Set up your page, tell your community why you care, and watch as generosity spreads.
