GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It’s a yearly event to honor babies who have gone too soon and help parents heal from the terrible loss.
The 2nd Annual “A Walk to Remember” is Saturday, October 15th at Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary starting at 10 a.m.
Organizer Annie Gajewski says she hopes the 1-2 mile reflective walk makes people feel comfortable to talk about their experience if they choose too.
“It’s really hard when you go through a miscarriage or loss of a child, it’s already kind of isolating. You feel very alone. It’s a loss that’s hard to explain and if you haven’t been through it, it’s even harder to support others sometimes who are going through it because we don’t know what to say.”
The event is hosted by Share of Northeast Wisconsin, a support group for parents who have lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss.
“A Walk to Remember” is held each year in October to recognize National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
Gajewski says last year nearly 500 people showed up for the walk.
