Join us in the beautiful Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens for this year's Mackay Walk to Remember, a beautiful opportunity to love and connect, to honour and remember the babies and children who are no longer with us. We will be meeting at Malta Gardens, which is to the north of the Botanic Gardens Cafe. 

The Walk to Remember is a long-running annual event in the Sands, and now Red Nose, community. The formal remembrance service includes readings and reflections from local bereaved families, an opportunity for guests to publicly share the name of the little one/s they are remembering , a shared time of reflection and remembrance in our Pinwheel Ceremony and of course the symbolic Walk to Remember itself - taking the footsteps our babies could not.

The Walk to Remember is a tradition that is linked to Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day/Month. We invite all bereaved Red Nose families to come along and remember their little ones, recognising that we have all experienced loss and that all our babies and children have missed out on very important steps with their families.

Please feel welcome to bring along a photo, teddy or other memento. 

The Walk to Remember is family-friendly. We will have a craft area set up for small children.

We’re once again partnering with A Cut Above Byron for personalised event t-shirts, who generously donate a portion of the sale of each Walk to Remember shirt to Red Nose. Tanja requests that you make your order at least three weeks before the event.

We are grateful to have the support of Australia Post in putting on this event for the Mackay community.
