Tom Griffin, Logan and I are walking the Syrup Stampede 5K to raise money for Empty Arms Bereavement Support. Empty Arms Bereavement has been beyond helpful as we have started to navigate our new reality and the new version of our family. Your thoughtful donations to Empty Arms Bereavement and our fundraising efforts are used to educate medical professionals, provide care packages to newly bereaved family members, provide 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. Please help us reach our fundraising goals!
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.
