Register for FREE to attend the 5th Annual Empty Stroller Awareness Walk!
Bereaved parents and supporters are invited to come together to help raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss. This year's walk will take place as part of the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
Join us for this FREE family-friendly event, where bereaved families and supporters can come together to honor and remember our babies and help raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss. You are welcome to participate in any or all of the special activities we have planned throughout the day.
12pm Family and Friends Picnic
1pm Forever in Our Hearts Remembrance Ceremony
2pm Empty Stroller Awareness Walk
Connect with fellow bereaved families and supporters at the Family and Friends Picnic. Food and beverages will be available for purchase or feel free to bring a picnic lunch.
We will honor our babies together during the Forever in Our Hearts Remembrance Ceremony. We will hear stories of love and loss, listen to poetry and special music, and say our babies’ names.
Together we will raise awareness during the Empty Stroller Awareness Walk. We encourage participants to walk with an empty stroller as a powerful image of the emptiness families are left with after a baby dies. Bereaved parents may also choose to put their baby's memorial bears, photos, or other special items in their strollers as a way to honor their baby's memory.
