This is our 4th year walking in honor of our son Kennedy, who was born on November 24th, 2021. He sadly passed away 12 hours after his birth unexpectedly. We didn't realize how prevalent infant loss was until it happened to us. We know Kennedy would want me to use our voice to take a stand and make a positive change in the world. Kennedy's life showed us just how much one life can make a difference, and now we want to use our lives to make a difference in memory of him and the beautiful time we got to spend with him. We also experienced a miscarriage at 6 weeks on August 8th, 2022.
After much anxiety and anticipation and hope, we welcomed our rainbow baby, Desmond, on January 19th, 2024. It saddens us to know that Desmond will never get to experience having his big brother, but we will always make sure he knows about Kennedy. We walk to honor Kennedy and to celebrate Desmond, our 2 beautiful boys, one in the stars and one in our arms.
We're walking for Kennedy and our other baby we barely got to know. They deserve to be remembered, and honored, and these deaths deserve to be prevented in the future. Our goal is $3,000; $1,000 for each trimester of pregnancy.
