A poignant moment of remembrance, the one mile walk at Sand Key Park on Saturday, October 11th at 9 a.m., Sand Key Park, (park shelter #1), 1060 Gulf Blvd., in Clearwater, provides awareness about pregnancy loss, stillbirth or newborn death and support for grieving parents. October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
