On April 23, 25 walkers representing Texas Children’s Family Fertility Center participated in the Walk of Hope in Sugar Land Town Square, a one-mile walk to increase community awareness about infertility.
This year, Texas Children’s came in second of the top 10 teams in Houston for fundraising. The Family Fertility Center team raised $1,700 from bake and T-shirt sales.
The name “Walk of Hope” embodies the emotion that most people living with infertility feel. The Walk of Hope is an event that represents the infertility journey – a series of small steps, each one filled with hope and a reminder that no one should walk on this journey alone.
The Walk of Hope was held in several locations across the country. Funds raised from the event will support RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association created to improve the lives of women and men with infertility issues.
The funds from the Walk of Hope will support RESOLVE programming including support groups, the most up-to-date online information, public awareness initiatives and advocacy efforts to ensure family building options are available to all.
