Walking to remember

There are hundreds of walks, runs and memorial ceremonies across the country each summer to help us keep our loved ones' memories alive. Last weekend, my family and friends attended the 3rd annual Baby Angels Foundation walk/run. The money raised supports families after the loss of a baby and resrouces provided by the Minnesota SID Center.
By Googling "Memorial Walk," "SIDS Walk" or other terms relative to your loss, you'll find pages of events.
Additionally, Compassionate Friends has a Walk to Remember - July 22, 2012, and remembrance ceremonies are frequently held at the more than 100 Angel of Hope statues throughout the country. Visit the web site to learn about activities at a statue near you.
The Baby Angels Foundation was started by two mothers who lost their babies to SIDS. Could you organize a walk or event in your loved one's memory?
