Your Baby's Page Greetings!

Thank you for taking a minute to see what's happening at RTF! 

We recently launched a new program called "Your Baby's Page" which is now available through our website.  Your Baby's Page is a free program available to anyone who wishes to have a personal page dedicated to their child.  These pages are intended as a free-form memorial page to share your child's story, create a personal memorial, or to share about life after loss and your child's legacy.  Read more about this new program here.

October is an awareness month for Child Loss, and in particular October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.  There are several memorial events going on both locally and globally that I wanted to share with you below.
ANNUAL WALK TO REMEMBER
Walk to Remember Logo This Saturday OCT 11th - 8:00am
The annual Walk to Remember in Littleton Colorado is happening this weekend at Clement Park!  Registration is available at the event if you have not already signed up. 

Walk to Remember is a local organization who has hosted a memorial walk at beautiful Clement Park annually since 2003.  Once again, this year we would like to do our part in spreading awareness of this moving and memorable event. 

There is a silent auction (cash and check only) as well, the proceeds of which fund the Bereavement Care Packages Program - providing information and resources to the front-range area hospitals, supporting families at the time of their loss.

If you want to go to the walk, but would rather not go alone, let me know!  You can walk with us!  We are very friendly.
OCTOBER 15TH - Worldwide Event
Candles Join the "Wave of Light"
Organizations across the globe ask that you take part in the "Wave of Light" by lighting a candle at 7pm, in your local time zone. 

Please take a moment on this day for reflection, and remembering our lost children by lighting a candle at home, in groups and gatherings, attending a mass, or calling someone close to you who has experienced this loss. 

No matter how recent or how long ago, every parent would love to know that someone is remembering their angel child.
MEMORIAL EVENT - COLORADO SPRINGS
Candlelight Service October 15th - 6:30pm
Woodmen Valley Chapel in Colorado Springs is hosting a Candlelight Service for child loss.  Download the PDF flyer here for more information.
 
As an all volunteer organization, we exist solely because of the generous support from people like you.  We know all too well how many worthy causes there are out there and so we appreciate your continued support of the work we are doing.

Sincerely,
 

Corinne O'Flynn, Executive Director
