Join the international Wave of Light

	October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day across the world. We would like to invite you to take part in the global 'Wave of Light'. Simply light a candle at 7pm and leave it burning for at least 1 hour to join us in remembering all babies that have died during pregnancy, at, during or after birth.
	This can be done individually or in a group, at home or in a communal space. Wherever you do this, you will be joining a global wave of light in memory of all the babies who lit up our lives for such a short time.
	If you would like to organise an event to support our campaign please get in touch.

October 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in the US. Please visit our sister organisation www.pregnancyandinfantloss.org for further information on events across the US.

The steering group behind the Baby Loss Awareness campaign would like to thank everyone who helped to organise an event for Baby Loss Awareness Week 2006. Without these volunteers and the many local businesses they persuaded to sponsor and support their events, much of what was achieved last year would not have been possible ~ in total over £9,000 was raised - thank you.
