Heartstrings has announced the opening of registration for its upcoming 13th annual Walk for Remembrance & Hope at Triad Park in Kernersville on Oct. 14, opening at 9 a.m. 

Every year, hundreds of community members come together at this event to share their journeys after the loss of a pregnancy or infant.  It is an opportunity for parents to collectively acknowledge and remember their children, and through that togetherness, grow in the hope that carries them forward.

This important event is open to the community and includes a Time of Remembrance Program, a reflective memorial walk, reading of baby names and a balloon release. Presenting sponsor For-tune Personnel Consultants (FPC) of Greensboro, is supporting the event in memory of Isabel Martin.

Registration information can be found at www.heartstringssupport.org.  Registration costs $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 3-17.  Friends and family are also invited to create memorial teams to compete in the Walk Fundraising Competition.  Team prizes will be awarded to the top four fundraising teams. Team donations and registration fees directly support Heartstrings programs to provide healing and hope to parents who have lost children from conception to young adulthood.

Heartstrings is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides compassionate validation, berea-vement education and hope to Triad families who have suffered pregnancy, infant and child loss through peer-based support groups and one-to-one peer mentoring.
