Healing Hearts Infant Loss Support Group to host its annual Walk to Remember October 13

Healing Hearts Infant Loss Support Group will be hosting its Third Annual Walk to Remember Saturday, October 13 at Waukon City Park. The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. and is being held to honor the memory of babies who have passed from this life.
There is no registration cost to participate in the event, but it is asked that those participating RSVP in advance to assure necessary material amounts and acknowledgment for families walking. T-shirt orders will be taken the day of the walk, along with a number of other remembrance items available for sale that day.
Registration will be at the Sweeney Shelter beginning at 9:45 a.m. The walk will begin at 10:30 a.m. starting at the Sweeney Shelter, walking through the park and ending with the flower release at Indian Springs Pond in the City Park. In addition to the walk activities, this year's event will also feature a ‘grand opening’ for Playful Little Hearts Playground located near the Thomson Shelter in the middle of the park.

In an effort to extend community remembrance beyond just a single day, Healing Hearts Infant Loss Support Group is also working on an Angel Tribute Sign, which will be placed near the new Playful Little Hearts Playground located by the Thomson Shelter in Waukon City Park. Angel Tribute Hearts can be purchased by anyone in honor of any pregnancy loss, still birth or infant death from conception to age 24 months due to any reason. The loss may be recent or in the distant past.
Those wishing to place an order for the Angel Tribute sign or needing further details about the project can e-mail healingheartsgroup@hotmail.com or call Dacia Sommer at 563-568-4296 or 563-568-8171. Order deadline is this Friday, October 5.
