7th Annual Walk to Remember  2009


Join Share of Lancaster on September 27, 2009 as we honor our babies by participating in a memorial walk at the Greenfield Corporate Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Share’s Walk to Remember is held to acknowledge all babies who have died as a result of ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Share of Lancaster’s goal is to provide a support and hope for all grieving parents and family members. This is a special time for those who have experienced the heartache of losing a baby. The Walk to Remember celebrates the tiniest of lives while acknowledging the fact that everybody has the right to grieve, no matter what type of loss.

Registration begins at 1:00PM with the event beginning at 2:00PM. There will be a scenic memorial walk around the ponds followed by a time of remembering. The service will include a time of sharing by Tonya Dorsey, a candle lighting ceremony and a roll call of babies’ names. There will also be crafts for children and a memory book for parents to write a message to their baby.

Our speaker this year will be Tonya Dorsey, a bereaved parent, author and consultant. Her book, From Crisis to Purpose: A Mother’s Memoir, chronicles her and her family’s journey from tragedy to hope when her water broke prematurely in her 19th week of pregnancy.


All proceeds from the walk will benefit Share of Lancaster support services.
