Many of my closest friends know Marion and I lost our only baby boy almost 19 years ago. It's amazing how time flies. At the time, our dreams were shattered. Baby Marion was stillborn. Words cannot express this loss to others, unless you've lived through it. We are forever grateful for those that have helped us move through our grief along the way. <3 Thank you for your thoughtful donation to Empty Arms and my fundraising efforts. Monies raised are used to educate Medical professionals, provide care packages to newly bereaved family members, provided one-on-one support when families first learn of their loss, allow continued group support for grieving families, and help families create wonderful happy memories with the babies they have lost.
Syrup Stampede
Syrup Stampede will be a fun, family friendly 5k run/walk event. Donations and raised funds will benefit Empty Arms, an organization geared toward helping families of the Pioneer Valley grieve the loss of a pregnancy or infant. The Empty Arms Community Members not only hope to raise awareness of this awesome organization but also hope to demonstrate our want and desire to integrate our losses into poistive events surrounding the memories of our babies.
Empty Arms Bereavement Support serves members of the Western Mass community whose babies have died at any time during pregnancy or early infancy. We look to provide and create a compassionate community, fostering connections, validation, and resources to grieving parents.
