Milk for Miles

Thank You, Coach Olivia: Miles for Milk and a Community That Showed Up

At Made by Momma, we believe that no family should ever have to question how they will feed their baby. This year, our community proved just how powerful that belief can be, thanks to Coach Olivia’s incredible dedication.

🏃Through her Miles for Milk initiative, Coach Olivia completed an extraordinary 100 km run, turning every single kilometre into tangible support for mothers and babies in need here in Calgary. Because of her determination and the generosity of everyone who rallied behind her, over $7,000 worth of infant formula was donated to Made by Momma and will be distributed to families who need it most.

🍼Formula prices in Canada have risen dramatically in recent years. The average monthly cost to feed a baby with formula here in Canada typically ranges from $100-200 for standard powder, and can exceed $280 per month for specialized and sensitive baby formulas. For many families, this financial burden can feel overwhelming. Coach Olivia’s efforts directly helped relieve that pressure, ensuring babies are fed and parents feel supported rather than alone.

🫶We are deeply grateful not only for the funds raised and formula donated, but for the compassion, awareness, and community spirit Coach Olivia brought to this initiative. Her commitment reminds us that meaningful change often starts with one person deciding to do something hard and inviting a loving community to support them. 

From all of us at Made by Momma, thank you, Coach Olivia, for choosing to partner with us, for amplifying this cause, and for putting in the miles (literally) to support families during one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives.

Your passion has made a lasting impact, and we are beyond inspired.

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year…because no family should ever wonder how they’re going to feed their baby.

With Love & Gratitude

Made by Momma🩷
