I wanted to introduce to you a group/event that is making a difference in Orange County, The OC Walk to Remember. They supports local hospitals and support groups in their efforts to help parents who have lost a baby or babies. The OC Walk to Remember takes place in October, which is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. Proceeds from the walk benefit local hospitals and support groups in their efforts to help parents who have lost a baby. Because of the OC Walk to Remember, parents now receive memory boxes, photos, stuffed animals, books, and other memorial items in the hospital after the death of their child. And support groups are able to hold seminars, reunions and continue operation because of the funds donated to them. My friend Kristyn started the walk after the loss of her son Joseph. It has helped hundred of parents obtain support after their loss.
