Fertility Matters 6K
Fertility Matters 6K is a national community movement that advocates for accessible and equitable fertility and family building care across Canada. The event uses the 6K distance to symbolize the one in six Canadians who face challenges building their families.
Participation is offered virtually from anywhere in Canada or in person at local movements. The event is described as not a race. People may walk, wheel, run, or move in other ways, form local groups, and engage in fundraising activities.
Funds raised support fertility and family building awareness, education, and advocacy. The stated fundraising goal for this edition is $200,000.
The organizer reports advocacy outcomes including contributing to a federal commitment to fund up to $20,000 for IVF. The organization also notes provincial and territorial efforts that helped launch or support funding programs and tax credits in Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Yukon, and work supporting British Columbia’s publicly funded fertility program.
