The Path of Hope is a way to honor and remember the children of the Family Teams that walk in the March for Babies. They gathered the children's name, information and pictures, then laminated them and posted them to stakes that line the March for Babies route. These signs serve as a reminder to the walkers of the reason we walk and that sadly, not every story has a happy ending. Most of all these signs serve as a small symbol of hope for a future when all babies will be born healthy and full term.
The group of women who put the signs together are known as "The Good Grief Group." Each of the women in the group have lost a baby due to prematurity and they put extra love and care into each sign.
We have walked in the March for Babies for the past three years. We have keep our Path of Hope signs and they hang in Nathan's room and they are a reminder to me of how far Nathan has come.
