Footprints on Our Hearts Walk & 5K
The Footprints on Our Hearts Walk & 5K is an annual event organized by Hope After Loss, Inc., an organization dedicated to supporting individuals who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. The event takes place at Hubbard Park in Meriden, Connecticut, and also offers an online participation option for those unable to attend in person.
Participants can choose from several activities throughout the morning:
- 5K Run (with an additional fee for participants who wish to be timed)
- 3K Fitness Walk
- Kids Fun Run
- Reflective Walk
The event serves as a gathering for peer support and awareness. A dedicated Remembrance Area is available for attendees, and the program includes a Remembrance Ceremony. For those who wish to honor a specific individual, customized memorial signs featuring a name and date can be ordered to be displayed along the running and walking routes.
The initiative aims to raise funds for programs including burial assistance, peer support groups, and educational outreach. Participants are provided with personal fundraising pages to collect pledges, with specific recognition tiers for those reaching certain fundraising milestones. These contributions support the organization's ability to provide services to families in need throughout the year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
