Beebe Healthcare Walk to Remember held at Blockhouse Pond

October 16, 2022

Beebe Healthcare’s Perinatal Loss Support Services hosted the 18th annual Walk to Remember Oct. 9 at Blockhouse Pond in Lewes’ George H.P. Smith Park.

The Walk to Remember is held annually to recognize pregnancy loss, allowing parents, their friends, families and other supporters an opportunity to remember babies who have died during pregnancy or after birth.

Attendees gathered at the Blockhouse Pond pavilion and did a half-mile walk around the pond. At the end of the walk, a short memorial service was held to honor the memory of babies lost.

Beebe’s event is the only Walk to Remember held in Delaware specifically to 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.
