To acknowledge Bereaved Mother's Day (the first Sunday in May) and mothers who have lost their children, we want you to join our virtual walk/run. Walk, run, ride, just #moveformama! 

​

This special day was created in 2010 to honour and celebrate the mothers who carry some, perhaps all, of their children in their hearts rather than in their arms.

​

When: April 29th - May 7th, 2023. Complete your race at any point during this week. 

​

Details: "DYOR"- do your own race! There is no official race location; you choose your own! All you need to do is commit to move, choose your own distance, time and route and do some fundraising!

​

Register Here: Registration is free and will only take only seconds to complete.

​

Fundraising Goal: $10/km and donations can be made HERE at any time before you compete your race.

​

Note: we are a participating Charity for Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink, so all donations made to Northernstar Mothers Milk Bank from now until August 31st, 2023 will be made through the Shaw Birdies for Kids donation portal and will be matched up to 50%. 

​

Fundraising for ‘Move for Mama’ goes towards our ‘Community Care Fund’. These funds will provide much-needed milk for babies in babies in need regardless of the family’s ability to pay. NorthernStar believes that human milk is the best option for any baby and that all babies have the right to the life-saving nutrients of pasteurized donor human milk.
