Providing Peace: Footprints On The Heart

Hi good people!
I hope that you are in good spirits.
I frequently come across different organizations created to help individuals and families who have suffered pregnancy, infant, and child loss. Recently I learned about Footprints on the Heart and I wanted to share them with you. They have an event this Sunday, and if you are in the Ranger, GA area (about 1hr north of Atlanta–I had to google it lol), make sure you check it out. Visit the links below for more information. It is important for you to know that you are not alone in your loss and that there are resources available to you. I will look to feature other organizations that help in “providing peace” in the near future.

From their Facebook page:
Footprints on the Heart’s mission is to raise awareness and education for pregnancy and infant loss (up to age 2). Based on biblical truths (Jeremiah 1:5, Ecclesiastes 3:1, and Psalm 34:18) we believe each life is precious, no matter how short lived, and leaves a lasting legacy of love.

Footprints on the Heart envisions a society where families no longer have to bear the burden of pregnancy and infant loss in silence, but instead are able to openly share their loss journey. Through community efforts, sharing bereavement materials, and the opportunity to connect with others who have experienced loss, we encourage individuals to grieve and grow in a healthy manner.

Set for Sunday, April 30 at 7:30 a.m., the Footprints on the Heart 5K Trail Run/1 Mile Walk will be held at Sweet Velo Blue, 352 White Graves Road N.E. in Ranger. To enter, participants need to register in advance at http://footprintsontheheart.itsyourrace.com/event.aspx?id=9143 or on the event day at 7 a.m. Entry fees will range from $8.50 to $25. Proceeds from the event, which also will include a memorial balloon release, will benefit Footprints on the Heart’s outreach efforts.
