Baby Loss Awareness Week – Our Miscarriage Association Memory Walk
In October, we remember all the tiny lives lost to miscarriage, ectopic and molar pregnancy through our Memory Walk fundraising event.
Join us remembering all the tiny lives lost to miscarriage, ectopic and molar pregnancy with our Memory Walk fundraiser.
On Sunday 13th October – during Baby Loss Awareness Week – we’re asking you to get together with loved ones and walk 4 miles at 4pm, reflecting the 1 in 4 pregnancies that end in loss.
The funds you raise will help us be there to support people through the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.
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. We hope you will join us all across the UK, walking at 4pm remembering the tiny lives lost too soon.
To organise your Memory Walk:
Our resources page below has printable name labels, advice on deciding your route, paper sponsor forms, and a customisable poster which you may find useful – please see below
– Plan a route that’s four miles long -there’s a helpful leaflet to help you with this on our memory walk resources page here: Memory Walk resources
– Invite your friends, family and colleagues, if you’d like, to join you to walk at 4pm on Sunday 13th October
– Set up a fundraising page via JustGiving under the team page – you can do this by clicking the orange “Start Fundraising” button under the Just Giving campaign page here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/ma-memory-walk-2024
– Once your page has received over £10 in donations, we’ll send you a link to order our special Memory Walk t shirts for you and your team and our fundraising pack.
Remembering together 💙
The Miscarriage Association’s Stars of remembrance
We have a special section on our website which provides a memorial space for babies lost in pregnancy – a place to mark the brief lives of those babies who died before they were born. We have created a new sky for our Memory Walk participants which you can find here: https://www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk/MemoryWalkStars
You can write a message in memory of your baby or simply provide us with a name and date and we will place a new star in the sky, linked to your message.
Please e-mail your message to Emma at emma@miscarriageassociation.org.uk with the subject “Memory Walk Stars of Remembrance”. Please keep your message to less than 450 characters or about 90 words. We’ll e-mail to let you know when your message has been added (it may take a few days).
Once again, many thanks for your support – you’re making a real difference to people at what can be a really tough time. Every penny you can add to the overall total will help us to continue to be there to help people through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy, and we really do appreciate your support.
We’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
