15th annual “A Walk to Remember” Oct. 12 in Naperville

SHARE’s 15th annual “A Walk to Remember” will be held Saturday, Oct. 12 at the Riverwalk Grand Pavilion, 500 Jackson Ave., west of Centennial Beach in downtown Naperville.

SHARE, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2019, is a support group at Edward Hospital (Naperville) and Elmhurst Hospital for those who have experienced a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or neonatal death.

Proceeds from the Walk will benefit SHARE’s counseling services, bereavement training and education, and the Wings of Hope Angel Garden at Edward Hospital, an outdoor space that was designed as a place where grieving parents can seek peace and comfort, as well as memorialize their child.

Check-in and registration on the day of the event will begin at 8:30 a.m. A memorial service featuring music, poetry and a reading of baby names will be held at 9:30 a.m., followed by a one-and-a-half mile Walk at 10:15 a.m.
