The event honors babies who have passed early in life by walking or running with an empty stroller.

SCRANTON, Pa. — The third annual “Scranton Empty Stroller Run and Walk” stepped up at Nay Aug Park in Scranton. 

The event honors and remembers babies that have passed away early in life. 

Some participants walked or ran with an empty stroller to symbolize the loss of a child. 

A woman traveled all the way from Virginia to be a part of the somber event. 

“We lost our first son at 21 weeks. It’s just not talked about enough, and then we had our rainbow baby little sister. So it’s super nice having someone like Chloe with Adalyn Rose who does something like this for families,” says Reagan brown, Virginia.

The event is part of the Adalyn Rose Foundation and was brought to scranton by Bridget and Brandon Lamberton, who lost their daughter, Amelia.
