The Kendall Pearson Resource Fund was established in November 2006 following the full-term stillbirth of Kendall Pearson Bird, first child of Mandy Dart and Roger Bird. The fund assists parents/parents-to-be who require support for unexpected health and life circumstances and who are associated with the Midwives of Muskoka, a beloved team of birth practitioners in the town of Bracebridge, ON.

Kendall was born on September 8, 2006, in Huntsville, Ontario, and welcomed into the world by midwife, Dianne Smith. She was held and cherished for one day by her Grandpa, Nana, Auntie Mel, Grandma Bird, Grantie Pam, Daddy and Mommy.
