Rowyn's Story - Our Mission

Whether you’re with us in Tenino or walking from home, we’re all walking together.

September 16th, 2014 began as an ordinary morning for our families - school drop-offs, preschool routines, and the start of a new day. In a matter of moments, everything changed with the sudden and heartbreaking loss of our 17-month-old daughter, Rowyn.

In her memory, Raise For Rowyn was founded. What began as two grieving mothers trying to honor one little life has grown into a mission of support, compassion, and advocacy for families across the country walking through unimaginable loss.

Each year, our Walk to Remember brings that mission forward at the Tenino Oregon Trail Days Parade. We invite angel families, friends, and our community to walk with us in person - or from anywhere in their own communities - because love and remembrance know no distance. Near or far, we walk together for Rowyn and all the angels we carry in our hearts.
