The Butterfly Run, presented by Big Lots, is a community fitness event to grow awareness, break stigmas, and raise funds for lifesaving pediatric behavioral health research at Nationwide Children's Hospital. More than just another 5K run and walk, The Butterfly Run is an event for anyone around the country to come together to advocate and improve outcomes for children living with mental illness. Invest in the future of children's mental health.  Join me in this On Our Sleeves movement for children’s mental health.

I will be walking with, and for, my daughter, Olivia. Olivia was hospitalized in 2018 for severe depression with suicidal thoughts with a plan. We are so thankful for the resources that Nationwide Children’s Hospital provides us with. Because of the help Olivia received there, her story goes on. 

All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by Nationwide Children’s Foundation.

On behalf of the patients and families of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, thank you for your support!
