Servicing the Front Range communities of Colorado, A Walk to Remember is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization focusing on bereavement care resources and support for those touched by all types of infant loss, including pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or SIDS.
The Annual Walk
Walk to Remember
A Walk to Remember holds an annual memorial walk for parents, family, and friends who have suffered the loss of a precious baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, neo-natal loss, SIDS, or any other type of infant loss. A memorial program precedes the Walk, where each baby's memory is honored by having a balloon released when his or her name is read aloud. The program also includes readings, music, and speakers to honor the deceased. Following the program, a dove release leads participants to a 1.4 mile reflective walk around Johnson Reservoir.
Please join us for this heartfelt event to honor so many who have been lost too soon.
Online Registration for the 2012 Walk will be available this summer.
