The Butterfly Run is a registered non-profit organization that provides integrated support, resources, and community for all people who have experienced unimaginable loss during the journey to

parenthood. We hope to empower families to share their stories and we provide this run as a healing space for you in your journey. As alone you might feel right now, we want you to know that we walk beside you.

It is estimated that 1 in 4 women will experience miscarriage or pregnancy loss (also known as perinatal loss) and that 1 in 6 Canadians experience infertility.

MISSION: The Butterfly Run Canada exists to offer support, compassion and community to honour the babies gone too soon and hold hope for the children to come. Together we raise awareness around infertility, pregnancy loss and infant loss by organizing community events and fundraising for local and provincial support programs.

​

VISION: Experiencing loss on the journey to parenthood is a path that no one should walk alone.
