Join us on Saturday, October 2nd at 10 am EST for the third annual Walk of Remembrance: Miles for Margaret, Lydia and All Babies Gone Too Soon. This walk will take place to honor babies who have died due to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, neonatal or infant loss, as well as raise awareness and funds for Count the Kicks. Everyone is invited to walk the steps our babies will never take, as we carry them with us in our hearts.
The 2021 event will once again be held virtually, but we anticipate offering a fully in-person event again next year, and we can’t wait!
We invite everyone to participate in a one mile reflective walk or run in their own communities to honor babies lost to perinatal, neonatal, and infant death. Please share photos with us on social media using the hashtags #chswalk2021 and #countthekicks.
Even though there will not be a central walk location this year, we would like to encourage participants to walk together in smaller groups or “pods” in their local areas.
Please follow our Facebook page for updates. On Saturday, October 2nd, we will post a recorded presentation that includes a reading of loved and missed babies' names. We will also do a couple Facebook Live videos.
All proceeds from this event will go towards Count the Kicks and their mission to save babies. Count the Kicks is an evidence-based stillbirth prevention public health campaign that encourages expectant parents to track their baby’s movements daily in the third trimester of pregnancy and contact their healthcare provider right away if there is a change in what’s normal for their baby.
