Share your Infertility Journey on Social Media
Infertility and the family building journey can be very isolating. People don’t just walk around announcing that they have infertility or are trying to grow their family, so it can be difficult to find others who understand. The Virtual DIY Walk of Hope is a reminder that no one struggling to build their family should walk alone. This virtual event celebrates the many ways families are built and the importance of continued public awareness.

It has been a tradition at the Walk of Hope NJ DIY to have Journey Beads. We all select and wear our Journey Beads – each color represents our personal connection to the cause, and helps us identify others who understand our experience.
