Baby Loss Awareness Week: Memory Walk
Join us during Baby Loss Awareness Week for our Memory Walk fundraiser, remembering the tiny lives lost to miscarriage, ectopic and molar pregnancy.
On Sunday 12 October, set out with loved ones and walk 4 miles at 4 pm, to remember the 1 in 4 pregnancies that end in loss.
Here’s how you can get involved:
- Register for the event – you can do this by clicking here, and then clicking the orange ‘Start fundraising’ button, and going through the simple set up process.
- Download your Memory Walk resources! – With everything you need from guidance to organising your walk, to promotional posters for raising awareness.
- Gather your team – we recommend getting together with friends, colleagues or loved ones for this event. It can help you feel supported, start valuable conversations, and raise even more awareness of the impact of pregnancy loss.
- Spread the word – let your friends, family, workplace and local community know you’re taking part, along with your story and a bit about the work we do, along with your fundraising page, so you can collect those donations.
- Once your team has raised £10 each, you’ll receive a link to order your special Memory Walk t-shirt or Miscarriage Association beanie hat. Wearing these items help raise awareness, so that people going through loss find our support when they need it most.
- Take part and remember, together – join people across the UK by wearing your t-shirts to walk 4 miles at 4pm on Sunday 12 October.
- Capture the memories made – we love to see photos from our Memory Walkers and their teams. These pictures help us encourage others to get involved, both in other Baby Loss Awareness Week activities, and in future Memory Walks.
However recent or long ago your loss was, the Memory Walk is a special way to remember, reflect, and honour your baby’s memory, either individually or with friends and family.
To help you feel part of our wider community, we’ve created a Memory Walk Community Map. Add a pin for your walk and see where others across the UK are walking in remembrance.
