Chasing the Rainbows Bursting Bubble Awareness Walk — Ypsilanti, MI
About this race
Event Date: May 3, 2026 • 2 PM to 4 PM
Join Chasing the Rainbows this Bereaved Mother’s Day weekend for the Busting Bubble Awareness Walk, a heartfelt event dedicated to healing, remembrance, and community. Whether you join us in person at one of our many locations or participate virtually, your involvement helps raise awareness and provides vital support for families grieving infertility, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or infant loss.
Why Bubbles?
Bubbles symbolize the many shapes and moments of grief, unexpected, unique, and deeply personal. Just as bubbles reflect rainbows in the light, they remind us of the signs, love, and connections our babies continue to send. These brief glimmers of color reflect the memories that stay with us forever.
Our Purpose
To raise awareness and offer essential support to families grieving the unimaginable.
