P.A.I.L. Remembrance and Awareness Walk

The 2nd Annual P.A.I.L. Remembrance & Awareness Walk will be hosted by Alive In My Heart, Miles’ Mission, Columbus Public Health, and Nationwide Children's Hospital at Genoa Park in Columbus on Saturday morning, October 11, 2025. The event will bring awareness and support around the experience of Pregnancy and Infant Loss (“P.A.I.L.”) and honor and remember all of the babies we miss, babies who are loved beyond measure. Building on a tradition started in 2023 with a P.A.I.L. 5k hosted by Timmy’s Kids, the walk will bring together the Columbus and surrounding communities to support parents grieving the loss of a baby. Check-in will open at 9 am and a brief presentation will begin at 10 am including Keynote Speaker Seneca Bing of Aliyah's Light and music by Heather Evans. The un-timed one-mile walk begins following the presentation, at roughly 10:30 am. The event will also include light snacks, water, resources for grieving parents, activities for children, and Dos Hermanos Food Truck and Kingdom Coffee Truck available for purchase, so please arrive early to enjoy these opportunities. The course is stroller-friendly, but pets other than service animals are not permitted. Keynote speaker, Seneca D. Bing, is a Licensed Professional School Counselor, Certified Grief Educator, and Founder & President of Aliyah’s Light Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support, a nonprofit established in memory of her ten‑month‑old daughter, Aliyah, who passed in 2015. With over 18 years in education and advocacy, she leads healing initiatives—like grief‑support circles, connection activities, and comfort boxes to support families along their healing journey. In recognition of her impact, she is a 2025 WELD (Women for Economic and Leadership Development) Calendar Honoree. Miles' Mission emerged from a family's profound grief after the stillbirth of their beloved Miles Owen Moore on October 11, 2021. His passing forever altered the lives of Jennifer, Gerald, Noah, and Harp
