Each October, in recognition of pregnancy and infant loss awareness month, this event provides an opportunity for community members to gather in remembrance of loved ones lost and to support one another.
Whether you've experienced this loss, know someone who has, or simply love a good walk, and want to support this community, we hope you'll join us! You can take a leisurely walk in memory. Families and strollers are welcome. We're dog friendly as long as your dog is friendly!
Join us at the Heartland of America Park. This will be our home base for the event, but runners and walkers will explore three beautiful parks along their route — Gene Leahy Mall, Heartland of America Park, and Lewis and Clark Landing!
