VOX Mental Health is honoured to support Bridget’s Run, an annual community event dedicated to remembering babies lost during pregnancy or infancy and bringing families, friends, and the broader community together in remembrance, love, and support.
Bridget’s Run is more than a fundraising event, it is a meaningful community gathering that creates space for grief, connection, and shared healing. It offers families an opportunity to honour their babies’ lives and legacies while also receiving the support and recognition they deserve during an incredibly difficult experience.
Pregnancy and infant loss is a deeply painful experience that can often feel isolating. Many individuals and families struggle silently due to stigma, lack of awareness, or limited access to support.
Bridget’s Run helps change this by creating a visible, compassionate space where grief is acknowledged and shared. By coming together as a community, participants send a powerful message: no one navigating this type of loss is alone.
This sense of connection can be an important part of the grieving process, helping individuals feel seen, supported, and understood.
Funds raised through Bridget’s Run directly support immediate assistance for families in crisis, ensuring that those experiencing pregnancy or infant loss can access timely, compassionate support when they need it most.
In addition to direct support services, the event also helps fund advocacy efforts aimed at reducing stigma and increasing awareness around pregnancy and infant loss. These efforts are essential in creating a culture where families feel safe speaking openly about their experiences and seeking support without shame or silence.
At VOX Mental Health, we recognize that grief following pregnancy or infant loss is unique and complex. It can involve emotional, physical, relational, and psychological impacts that extend far beyond the initial loss.
Events like Bridget’s Run play a vital role in validating these experiences and ensuring that families are not navigating their grief alone. Community awareness and support can significantly reduce isolation and help individuals access the care they need.
VOX Mental Health is proud to stand alongside Bridget’s Run in their mission to honour babies, support grieving families, and advocate for greater awareness and compassion around pregnancy and infant loss.
We believe that healing is strengthened through community, acknowledgment, and connection. By supporting initiatives like this, we contribute to building a more compassionate and informed community where all forms of grief are recognized and respected.
Together, we can help ensure that families feel supported not only on days of remembrance, but throughout their healing journey.
