The results are in – and they are very impressive.
This year’s installment of the Peterborough Butterfly Run, which took place Sunday at Millennium Park, raised over $92,000 according to organizers.
“What an amazing day. Our hearts are full” said Vince Bierworth, Executive Director for the GPHSF, Your Family Health Team Foundation, Event Organizers. “On behalf of our Foundation, the Peterborough Butterfly Run committee and Partners in Pregnancy Clinic, thank you to everyone who supported the 2024 Peterborough Butterfly Run. It was great to feel the fellowship, support, and comradery of the crowd, which is what the event has always been about. No matter what format the event has taken, there are so many that support its mission. For that we are very grateful.”
The top three fundraising teams were Macks Pack, The White Family and Team Bene’s Buddies. The top 3 individual fundraisers were Stephanie Sutton, Rebecca Mcevoy and Cally White.
Funds raised at the event have been used to provide ongoing specialized education in Perinatal Bereavement Care to healthcare providers across Peterborough City and County, establish more than 10 lending libraries for individuals and their families located across Peterborough City and County, as well as the development of bereavement kits for families and individuals who experience early and later pregnancy loss and infant loss.
