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 research and ultimately end stillbirth.
why we ask that you cruise for kai 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. through this walk we aspire to reach those affected by stillbirth in our community, offer friendly words of encouragement and raise funds for noteworthy organizations. money raised will go toward firstcandle to help support other families affected by stillbirth and their research efforts. the references page is designed to educate, promote healing and provide comfort. please check back often as the site will be continuously updated.
