PAIGE ROTHWELL

I’m participating in the Butterfly Run in honour of the babies I never got to hold, and for all the families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.

 

I was born with a heart-shaped uterus, which led to multiple miscarriages. After everything my body has been through—and due to life-threatening allergies—I now have to undergo a hysterectomy. This isn’t just another procedure for me… it feels like the final lock on the door of a dream I’ve carried my whole life.

 

My whole life, I dreamed of being a mom. I truly believed I would be the one in my friend group with a house full of kids. Having that dream taken away has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced.

 

This run is my way of honouring those losses, raising awareness, and supporting others who are walking a similar path. No one should feel alone in this kind of grief.

 

If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean so much to me ??
