Join us for the Fifth Annual PALS Waddle Walk!

In your neighborhood the weekend of June 24-25, 2023.

The Waddle Walk is Pregnancy After Loss Support’s (PALS) grassroots event to help raise funds to continue to support parents who are trying to conceive, pregnant, and parenting after loss. As we create new features for our Pregnancy After Loss App and launch new programs at PALS, your support is crucial.

No matter where you are on your journey after loss or whether you are supporting a loved one who has experienced loss, the Waddle Walk is for you. Waddle, walk, or run three miles to remember the babies gone too soon, celebrate those babies who are born after loss, and support courageous parents on this unique and challenging journey. We hope you’ll join us.

2. Plan your walk.

  • Choose a location for your walk. Because this is a virtual walk, there isn’t one location for the Waddle Walk. The Waddle Walk is a collection of walks put on all over the world by different courageous parents held all on the same weekend. Some ideas include parks, the mall, walking trails, the beach, or any other place you’re free to gather.

3. Raise funds for Pregnancy After Loss Support.

  • Create your fundraising page.

  • Choose a fundraising goal for your team. The overall fundraising goal for this event is $30,000: $10,000 for each trimester of pregnancy after loss.

  • Share your fundraising page on social media and through email, encouraging others to donate to your walk.

  • Give updates to supporters leading up to the event, as well as on the day of the event. Post pictures with the hashtags #WaddleWalk2023 and #PALSWaddleWalk so others can see who all is walking for PALS.
