Beebe Walk to Remember name registrations due Oct. 1

Beebe Healthcare Perinatal Loss Support Services will host the 19th Annual Walk to Remember at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 8 (rain date Sunday, Oct. 15), at George H.P. Smith Park, Blockhouse Pond, Lewes. 

The Walk to Remember is held annually to offer families the opportunity to honor the memory of babies who have died through tubal pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal or infant death. Beebe’s event is the only Walk to Remember held in Delaware to specifically commemorate pregnancy and infant loss. Similar walks take place nationwide each fall in honor of October’s designation as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

Participants may register in advance or on site the day of the walk. Attendees will gather at Blockhouse Pond pavilion before the half-mile walk, then proceed as a group along the paved walkway around the pond. At the end of the walk, a short memorial service will take place to honor the memory of babies lost. 

Parents wishing to have the names of their infant(s) included in the program must submit a registration by Sunday, Oct. 1, at beebehealthcare.org/walk-remember.

Parents and grandparents who preregister before the event will receive a memorial T-shirt at no cost based on availability. Early registration is encouraged. Friends, other family members and supporters may purchase a T-shirt for $10.

For more information about the walk, to register, or to provide contributions, contact Barbara Rogers at Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing by calling 302-645-3251.
