Sweet Walk To Remember

Sweet Walk to Remember is a one-mile remembrance walk at Norlo Park, offering both an in-person gathering and a virtual option for participants joining from home. Organized by Sweet Grace Ministries, a ministry founded after the stillbirth of Cicely Grace Dortenzo, the event provides support for families grieving miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death. The walk emphasizes remembrance, support, and shared grief over speed or competition, functioning as a fundraising and awareness initiative. The day's activities include snacks and fellowship, followed by a speaker, a reading of names, and a candle lighting ceremony prior to the one-mile walk. Sweet Grace Ministries utilizes the event to raise funds and resources for practical aid, such as comfort baskets, comfort bags, burial gowns, photography, cards, and support groups. The organization's partnerships with hospitals in multiple states allow the walk to link a local gathering with a broader support network for families experiencing infant loss.
