Empty Stroller Walk

media release: The Alana Rose Foundation and Healing Our Hearts are excited to co-host the 3^rd Annual Empty Stroller Awareness Walk on Sunday, October 15, 2023.  

At this free family-friendly event, bereaved parents and supporters are invited to come together to help raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss. We will meet at the State Street Steps and walk together around the Wisconsin State Capitol. We encourage participants to walk with an empty stroller as a powerful image of the emptiness families are left with after a baby dies. Bereaved parents may also choose to put their baby's memorial bears, photos, or other special items in their strollers as a way to honor their baby's memory. A short program and candlelight vigil in honor of the International Wave of Light will follow the walk at 7 p.m.
