2011 Footprints on Our Hearts Walk to Remember

The Hygeia Foundation’s first annual Footprints on Our Hearts Walk to Remember on Sunday, October 2, 2011, was profoundly moving. Over 350 walkers came together in East Shore Park in New Haven, Connecticut, to talk, to hug, to cry, and to remember and honor babies who have gone too soon.

Many of our walkers collected pledges to support the Hygeia Foundation’s programs and the families who need them. Together, we exceeded our goal of $35,000, ensuring that we will be able to continue to help families in need throughout the coming year.

We hope you will walk with us in October 2012. Check back here for more information in the coming months, or contact us at any time.
