On Sunday, September 6, 2026, the Bois-de-Liesse Nature Park will come alive with the inaugural Butterfly Run Montréal. Organized by the With Love From Michael Foundation, this family-friendly fundraising event aims to raise awareness and support for families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. The run is designed to honor those who have faced the difficult reality of baby loss while also raising essential funds that help expand grief resources in hospitals across Montreal. Participants can register as individuals or join teams on Race Roster’s website, setting their own fundraising goals leading up to the event date. All proceeds will go toward providing memory boxes and miscarriage care kits for local healthcare facilities, ensuring families have access to compassionate support during a challenging time. On the day of the run, participants are invited to gather at Bois-de-Liesse Nature Park starting at 10:00 AM. The event features a 5KM Memorial Walk that winds through picturesque trails and scenic landscapes, offering runners an opportunity for reflection and remembrance while enjoying nature’s beauty. After completing their walk, attendees can stay to enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere with activities designed for all ages. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual race option is available from August 30th to September 6th, allowing participants to complete their 5KM route at any time and place of their choosing. This flexibility ensures that everyone has an opportunity to contribute to the cause regardless of location or schedule constraints. Join us as we come together to support grieving families in Montreal by participating in this meaningful event. Register now and help the With Love From Michael Foundation reach its $30,000 fundraising goal. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using #ButterflyRunMTL to spread awareness about the importance of grief resources for bereaved parents.

About Montréal
Learn more about the host city, Montréal.
Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec, the second-largest in Canada, and the eighth-largest in North America. Founded in 1642 as Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary", it now takes its name from Mount Royal, the triple-peaked mountain around which the early settlement was built. The city is centred on the Island of Montreal and a few, much smaller, peripheral islands, the largest of which is Île Bizard. It lies 196 kilometres (122 mi) east of the national capital, Ottawa, and 258 kilometres (160 mi) southwest of the provincial capital, Quebec City.
