The event is the culmination of a monthlong campaign dedicated to honoring babies who have passed away and supporting families navigating grief. Other events have already taken place in Lewistown, Scranton and Souderton.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery single one of these events represents so much more than a run or walk,\u201d Chloe Ciferri, founder and executive director of the Adalyn Rose Foundation, said in a statement announcing the Berks event. \u201cFor families who have experienced the loss of a baby, there is something incredibly meaningful about seeing an entire community show up to remember their child. These events give families a space to say their baby\u2019s name, share their story and know that their child will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so grateful to the incredible families, volunteers and communities who have made these events possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s event will included a timed 5K race, as well as a memorial walk. The day will also feature music, family-friendly activities, food trucks, raffles and remembrance opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hope is that families leave feeling surrounded by love,\u201d Ciferri said. \u201cWhether they are joining us for the very first time or have walked alongside us for years, we want every family to know that their baby matters, their story matters, and they will always have a place within our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
