The Butterfly Fun Run takes place at The Groynes Reserve in Christchurch, coinciding with Baby Loss Awareness Week. This event features a 6km course that offers participants a scenic experience through the natural landscape of the reserve.
Hosted by Miscarriage Matters NZ, the run/walk aims to promote awareness surrounding miscarriage while fostering a supportive community atmosphere. The event encourages participation from a wide range of individuals, with prizes awarded for the first three finishers, as well as for the best dressed, alongside various spot prizes.
Miscarriage Matters NZ, a not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to raising awareness of miscarriage and providing resources and support for those affected, including care packages and assistance for midwives and other maternity carers. The event serves not only as a physical challenge but also as an opportunity for communal reflection and support.
