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.
