We are beyond excited to have people joining RNE for this celebration of family and family building journeys from around the world! 

We may be based in New England, but we are honored to provide a supportive community to those struggling to build their families, wherever they might be.

We have a great selection of virtual activities and offerings for you to access this weekend here and on our social media channels. And speaking of social media, we'd love to see your Walk photos so be sure to tag us (and check out the downloadable photo props/stickers below).

Thank you so much for walking with us!

Welcome to Walk Weekend!

Why We Walk

The emotional well-being of our community is the cornerstone of our mission so if you are still struggling to build your family, please know that this video does contain images of babies and children.

Thank You, Sponsors!

We'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our amazing walk sponsors. We are grateful not only for their support of RNE, but also for the tireless work they do each day helping people build their families. 

We invite you to meet our sponsors this weekend, discover the unique ways that they support growing families, and learn about the many organizations and resources that are available to those on their family building journeys!

Walk Weekend Activities

Recognizing Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and each year, on October 15th, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day culminates with a wave of light around the world.

To create the wave, families light candles to honor the little ones held in their hearts from 7-8p local time.

Today we invite you to add your little one(s) to the RNE Remembrance Candles.

You can include names, dates, or any phrases that are meaningful to you.

Together we can honor and remember all of our community’s loved ones when these candles are lit during the Wave of Light.

We remember every day, but the Wave of Light can be such a beautiful reminder that we are not alone.
