Welcome to The Pregnancy Network’s Walk for Life, where your participation closes the gap between women in the Triad facing unplanned pregnancies and essential services: medical care, education, resources, and mentorship.
As a Walk for Life participant, you play a crucial role in helping us achieve our financial goal of $180,000, the funds required to empower 120 women to face their unplanned pregnancies without fear. It takes $1,500 to provide one woman with comprehensive support; how many women will you empower?

Here are six steps that serve as your guide to a successful fundraising campaign, offering tools and resources to keep you organized and motivated. Throughout your Walk for Life journey, we are here to assist you at every step. Are you ready? Let’s go!
