 A Walk to Remember helps raise awareness of prenatal loss and to honor babies who have gone too soon. The event will also feature a short program, bubble release, prayer corner and a special memorial area for babies lost to SIDS. A Walk to Remember is held each year in October to recognize National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

"Across the country, families symbolically join together in events to raise awareness of the impact of the loss of a baby," said Theresa Shuck, certified bereavement coordinator for Share of Northeast Wisconsin at HSHS St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay.

A Walk to Remember also provides an opportunity to gather to remember and honor the babies who have touched our lives and our hearts but are no longer with us. We will walk together as a community for the steps our babies will never take."
