Walk Location Details
We invite you, your family, and friends to take part in Choosing Hope, a walk of honour in remembrance of a baby you hold close to your heart. Join us for a special afternoon in line with Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness month.
Participants will take part in a leisurely walk and will then be invited to stay for a special remembrance service.
During your online registration you will receive an online fundraising page (which is optional to use). We encourage you to help make every step count by raising funds to support Bears Of Hope Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support in the important work that we do and are increasingly providing. Please refer to the Fundraising Guidelines which includes details on eligibility to receive a free personalised Choosing Hope T-shirt.
Registration prior to the day is important to help us with planning.
***Please note that T-shirt and Hat Orders made after September 30th cannot be guaranteed to arrive in time for the walk. ***
