Join us this October for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Month, in our special Walk to Remember. 

We gather to remember our precious babies and children, by taking the “steps” they never got to take.

Everyone is invited - all bereaved families in our community, and their loved ones - so register now, to find connection with other bereaved parents, families, and friends.

On Saturday the 25th October 2025, our Canberra community will gather at our Chifley-based office space. We'd love to show you around our Red Nose Hub, including the community and session spaces.

We will be meeting from 10:30am for registrations, then moving together to the large oval that neighbours our office for the Walk to Remember. 

Following the formalities, we will return to the Chifley office space for a catered lunch in the courtyard.

 Join us this October as we Walk together, remembering our little ones with love.

We'll meet from 10:30am for a 11am ceremony.

The Walk to Remember is a relaxed, family-friendly event that includes:

• A visit to our friendly office space and hub of activities
• A beautiful remembrance service with readings and reflections from local bereaved families
• An opportunity for everyone to publicly say their little ones’ names
• Pinwheel Ceremony to share a time of reflection and remembrance
• The symbolic Walk to Remember - a short loop around the oval and back
• Time for connection over coffee and gorgeous refreshments provided by Cameron Ribbons from Ribanas Catering

**Frequently asked questions and more details**

**Did you know?**

Our annual Walks to Remember began as a way for families who have experienced the loss of a baby or child to meet together in remembrance, love, and connection.

**Are pinwheels included?**

All tickets include a pinwheel, with the exception of the child ticket. Pinwheels are suitable for ages 3+. Children under 3 can be registered for free, and will not receive a pinwheel.

**It’s nearly lunchtime, is food included?**

Yes! There will be a coffee van, and beautiful catering provided.

**What to expect:**

Our Red Nose annual Walks to Remember are about making connections while honouring the love and loss that we all share.

You may find that connecting with people is often easier with other people who really “get it”, or you might feel nervous about talking with others who have lost a precious child. There will be many members of the Red Nose staff team and community to help you feel comfortable.

You can expect to see larger family groups, living siblings, and other loving children joining in at the Walk. You’ll see some joyful elements like bubbles, cakes, face painting, and butterflies—these are all part of celebrating our connection to our children.

And this event is also a time to reflect, embracing both our deepest sorrow and the joy our children brought into our lives. So in the remembrance service and the Walk itself, you can expect that we’ll focus on our enduring love for our babies or children who died, and the milestones we’ll never see with them.

**How much are tickets?**

Tickets start at $10 and include a pinwheel, with discounts for groups, and if you’re a Heart Strings member, you can get cheaper tickets with the discount code from your welcome letter. For more information about Heart Strings, and to sign up, please visit our website here.

If you’re experiencing financial difficulty, you don’t need to miss out! Please select the “sponsored tickets” option when you register.

**Where can I buy the Walk to Remember shirt?**

We’re partnering with A Cut Above Byron for personalised event t-shirts again this year. They generously donate a portion of the sale of each Walk to Remember shirt to Red Nose, which helps us to support grieving families across the country.

Please place your order at least 3 weeks before your Walk, to make sure it arrives in time. Try to add an extra week if you live in WA or remote areas, because these shirts are posted from Byron Bay (Cavenbah) on the east coast of Australia. Tanja from A Cut Above Byron says thank you!

While this event is family-friendly, the safety and supervision of children in your care remain your responsibility.
