Red Nose is pleased to be hosting this year’s special Walk to Remember events in various locations across Australia during October.
- When
- 1–29 October 2024
All bereaved families in our community are invited to participate in this year’s walks to remember and honour their precious babies and children.
Each Walk to Remember gives bereaved families a space to come together to remember their babies and find connection with other bereaved parents, families and friends.
The majority of our Walks to Remember are volunteer led and rely on members of the community to plan and host the activities, with support from our Community Engagement team. If you are interested in coordinating a Walk to Remember in a new location in 2025, we’d be very happy to hear from you at community@rednose.org.au.

Order your Walk to Remember T-shirt
We’re 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 your Walk, and if you live in WA or anywhere else where mail from the East Coast can be particularly slow, to add an extra week.
