Because Grief Bursts Differently for Everyone
Event Date: May 3, 2026 • 9 AM to 12 PM
Join Chasing the Rainbows this Bereaved Mother’s Day weekend for the Busting Bubble 5K Walk & Run, 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.
Your Impact: Supporting 11 Daily, Free, Trauma Informed Services
By registering, you directly support Chasing the Rainbows’ 11 free services that offer daily, compassionate care. These include virtual support groups held four times a day for a total of eighteen sessions each week, in-person support groups throughout the United States, peer mentors, trauma therapy, the Cry It Out Loud podcast, coping care packages, mindful movement, online private chat communities, resources for family members, perinatal bereavement training for medical units, and community events. These programs ensure that no one has to navigate grief alone.
A Celebration of Life
This event is more than a walk or run. It is a joyful and healing gathering filled with live entertainment, vendors, and sponsors. Together, we will celebrate the lives of the little ones we carry in our hearts and the strength of those who love them.
The Wall to Remember
We will feature a Wall to Remember, a touching tribute honoring babies gone too soon. It offers a space for reflection, connection, and remembrance.
Get Involved
You can make an even greater impact by becoming a donor, personal sponsor, or company sponsor. Your generosity helps sustain the services families rely on every day. To get involved or volunteer, contact us at [email protected] or visit chasingtherainbows.org. Every step taken, every bubble released, and every story shared helps bring healing and hope. Register today and help us honor, remember, and support families on this meaningful day.
