  why we cruise for kai

 

 we are matt and jen lueck, on october 17, 2006 we lost our first son, kai easton to stillbirth when  i (jen) was 36 weeks pregnant.  like so many parents we were told there was no apparent reason for our sons death.

 

 since then we've desired to help others who share a similar loss while contributing to a larger cause to help a local organization continue it's meaningful work.

why we ask that you cruise for kai

roughly 900,000 to 1 million of pregnancies tragically end up in pregnancy loss every year. 

more than 500,000 pregnancies end in pregnancy loss every year  during the first 20 weeks, resulting in 1 in 4 pregnancies that sadly end with miscarriage.

every year, in the United States alone, nearly 26,000 families  experience the death of a precious baby before he or she has a chance to take their first breath . . . 71 families, each and every day, devastated by stillbirth.

19,000 pregnancies end in infant death in the first month. 

approximately, 39,000 end up in infant death in the first year.

 

october 15 is pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day and we'd like to recognize our sweet baby boy along with other families who have suffered from any of these very real and devastating losses.

through this walk/run we aspire to reach those affected by miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss in our community, offer friendly words of encouragement and raise funds for a noteworthy local organization.

money raised will go toward HALO to help support other families affected by miscarraige, stillbirth and infant loss.
