September 29, 2026 – HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital will host its 11th annual Share Walk for Remembrance and Hope on Saturday, October 10th, bringing families and community members together to remember babies lost through miscarriage, stillbirth and infant death.

Activities begin at 9 a.m. at Nelson Park Pavilion Number 2, followed by a memorial service and lakeshore walk at 10 a.m. During the memorial service, the names of babies will be read aloud as families gather to remember and honor their children.

The Share Walk is held each October in recognition of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Families are welcome to participate regardless of how recently or how long ago their loss occurred.

Families are encouraged to register in advance so their baby’s name can be included in the memorial program and read during the service. Registration is $15 per family.

For registration or more information, contact Karla Marshall at 217-464-2045 or Karla.Marshall@hshs.org.
