The Walk to Remember is a heartfelt annual event hosted by Capital Area Healthy Start Coalition to honor the lives of babies lost during pregnancy, stillbirth, infancy, or early childhood. Held each October during Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, this evening of reflection gives families and the community a safe space to grieve, heal, and remember together.
This is not just a walk it’s a tribute, a moment of healing, and a call to action to support grieving families and raise awareness about infant and pregnancy loss, a silent heartache that touches 1 in 4 families.
