Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park, Lakewood, CO
The NILMDTS Remembrance Walk, “Our Journey Together” is for parents, family members, and friends to come together to remember a precious baby who has died due to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, neonatal or any type of pregnancy or infant loss.
Join us at the Colorado Walk either in person at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park or watch the presentation online from the comfort of your home. The NILMDTS Remembrance Walk is an opportunity to bring honor to our babies and healing to our hearts. The Walk also ensures future support to families who will sadly walk in our shoes one day.
“I loved the kindness and the acceptance and respect that was shown to each and every person that attended.”
