Share Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support is hosting the 23rd Annual Walk for Remembrance & Hope
on Saturday, October 18, 2025. We would love for you to join us as we walk in memory of our babies.

More than 2,000 people will gather at Frontier Park in St. Charles, MO. This annual event provides families who have experienced the death of their baby an opportunity to openly acknowledge and remember among family, friends and the bereavement community. This event also allows families to take the steps their precious children will never get to take. Families are welcome to bring flowers to place at the base of the Baby Memorial Wall where babies’ names will be printed.

5 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE WALK

  1. Baby Names are on the T-shirt

Due to the growth of the Share Walk over the years, we are not able to legibly print all of the baby’s names on the back of one Walk t-shirt. This year t-shirts will divide the baby's names alphabetically into two groups. Based on the baby's name you provide on your registration form, you will receive the t-shirt design that includes your baby's name. If you are walking in memory of more than one baby with DIFFERENT LAST NAMES, please contact Emily Swain eswain@nationalshare.org to confirm that your baby's names are printed together.

  1. Baby Name Wall

In order to continue our tradition of honoring your babies, this year we will create a large memorial wall printed with all baby names received by the August 21st deadline. The Baby Name Memorial Wall will be displayed at the Walk. Families are encouraged to bring flowers to place at the base of the wall and take photos before/after the ceremony. We hope this memorial will commemorate and honor your baby in an impactful way for your family.

  1. Accuracy Check of Baby Names

It is our desire to eliminate potential errors on the Baby Name Memorial Wall and the t-shirt. To ensure accuracy, we will post the list of baby names, received by the August 21st deadline, on our website August 22nd. Please visit the website to check the accuracy of your baby’s/ies name. Complete the contact form on the page or email Emily Swain (eswain@nationalshare.org) to inform us of any corrections. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of spelling if you do not contact us with corrections by August 23rd.

  1. August 21st DEADLINE-

If you register after August 21st:

  • Your baby's name will not be able to be printed on the Baby Name Memorial Wall or the Walk T-shirt
  • Please visit the Baby Name Tent the day of the Walk to ensure your baby(ies) name(s) will be read at the ceremony
  • You will be able to order additional merchandise only on the day of the Walk (please come early as merchandise is sole on a first come, first-served basis)
