JOIN US for our 10th Starlight Walk

Footprints that matter: Every step you take under the starlight helps us give memory boxes to over 110 families each year – from the very earliest of losses through to babies and children up to 18 years old.

This special evening falls during #BabyLossAwarenessWeek 9th-15th October, a time to remember, raise awareness, and walk in solidarity. The Fort Regent Dome will be lit in #pinkandblue in memory of all the babies and children we lost too soon.

Huge thanks to our event sponsor Slomans

Set out on the 10km walk from our gazebo at the Waterfront Gardens to St Aubin and back. If you’re not up to the whole 10km, turn at Bel Royal for a 5km walk, or just walk what you can. For all ages and abilities, the route is flat and pushchair / wheelchair friendly. Dogs welcome!

REGISTRATION, HOODIES AND T-SHIRTS

For a quick check-in on the night and to purchase your 2025 t-shirt/undated Starlight Walk hoody please register online before Saturday 11 October noon. On the night registration from 5pm.

UNDER 5s remain free - but please book a ticket so we can ensure enough glow sticks/medals.

START: Anytime between 5pm and 7pm.

LOCATION: Waterfront Gardens (above the underground carpark) look out for our gazebo. Check in or register on the night, LED glowsticks available to borrow for the event. Hand in any donations or sponsorship here.

'Walking in Memory' stickers available

HALF WAY POINT: Look out for our charity flags just before St Aubin. Bring your refillable bottle and use the Jersey Water fountain to top up. Why not get a snap in our 'Half Way' selfie frame!

FINISH: back to the start and exchange the LED glowstick for your medal and final Starlight Walk selfie.

CAN'T MAKE IT ON THE NIGHT?

Book an ANYTIME ticket and do it your way anytime in October! Contact us to arrange a medal. 

15 OCTOBER WAVE OF LIGHT

A limited number of 'Wave of Light' tealights are available on the night of the walk to take home.

On 15th October at 7pm wherever you are, we invite you to join us in lighting your candle to mark the global Wave of Light event at the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week. We light a candle in memory of those who lit up our lives for such a short time and families all around the world take comfort from knowing that we are one community, supporting each other and remembering our little ones together.

Or, pass it on to someone you know who has lost a baby and let them know you're thinking of them.

If you'd like to help in any way please contact us on support@philipsfootprints.org for volunteer opportunities.

Thanks also go to:

The Technical Team who will again light the Fort Regent dome PINK and BLUE in memory of our babies this week.
