Footprints on Our Hearts Walk to Remember

The Hygeia Foundation, a non-profit provider of free support services to parents who have lost a pregnancy or newborn, invites you to our first annual Footprints on Our Hearts Walk to Remember.

The Walk, which will take place during national Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, will honor babies who have died before, during, or soon after birth; improve awareness of the effects of pregnancy and newborn loss on families; and raise funds to support the Hygeia Foundation's programs. These programs include free bereavement support services to parents who grieve the loss of a pregnancy or newborn, financial assistance to Connecticut parents who cannot afford the burial costs for their babies, and community outreach and educational programs.

We hope you will walk with us in remembrance.
