Organise a Starlight Walk
We want to help you organise a Starlight Walk. All you need to do is choose a date and location, then invite your friends and family to join you!
With every step you take, and with every pound you raise, you are helping us create a legacy of hope and comfort, showing the world how much every baby is loved and giving anyone affected by the loss of a baby the chance to not feel alone.

Once registered we'll send you your pack which includes:
- 10 cards of remembrance
- 10 lanterns
- 10 LED candles
Those participating with you might choose to write the name of a loved one who shine brightly forever in their heart on the card. They can then cut it out and pin it to themselves for your Starlight Walk. You can decorate the lanterns with messaged of love and carry them with you on your walk.
You'll automatically be set up with a fundraising page which you can use to encourage your friends and family to donate to when taking part in your walk.
