Paws for Pregnancy Loss: Walk 100km this March
Paws for Pregnancy Loss is back for 2026 – and it’s bigger, better, and more paw-some than ever.
This March, we’re asking you to take on a 100km walking challenge, alongside your furry companion or on your own, and help raise vital funds for people affected by the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.
Why we walk
Pregnancy loss affects so many lives, and often it’s our furry companions who stay close through the hardest moments. They don’t ask questions or need explanations. They simply show up, offering comfort, routine, and unconditional love when words are hard to find.
We know how powerful that quiet support can be. Paws for Pregnancy Loss is a way to honour the role pets play in our lives, and the comfort they bring during times of loss.
By taking on this challenge and supporting the Miscarriage Association, you’re helping ensure no one has to face pregnancy loss alone – and showing how even the smallest steps, taken together, can make a real difference.
🐾 Open to every paw (and person)
Paws for Pregnancy Loss is open to everyone – with or without a canine companion.
