Annual Share Walk<br />
On a beautiful fall Saturday in October, over 50<br />
people from throughout the area gathered at Cape<br />
County Park <strong>for</strong> the annual Share “Walk to Remember.”<br />
Share of Southeast Hospital serves families<br />
<strong>and</strong> caregivers by providing free peer counseling,<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation, education <strong>and</strong> care <strong>for</strong> families who have<br />
experienced miscarriage, stillbirth <strong>and</strong> neonatal death.<br />
Following a memorial service <strong>and</strong> one-mile walk, a<br />
balloon release honored families who attended the walk<br />
<strong>and</strong> the babies <strong>for</strong> whom they grieve.<br />
The continuation <strong>and</strong> success of the <strong>SoutheastHEALTH</strong><br />
Share program relies solely upon the support of the<br />
Foundation. Gayle Unverferth <strong>and</strong> Linda Logan, Share<br />
program coordinators, say this support enables them to<br />
provide care, com<strong>for</strong>t, <strong>and</strong> other res<strong>our</strong>ces to <strong>our</strong> Share<br />
families. “We would not be able to sustain this program<br />
without the Foundation.”<br />
Barb Enderle Share’s<br />
Support<br />
Barb <strong>and</strong> Kyle Enderle lost their baby girl,<br />
Kyla Jo Enderle, June 25, 2003. Every<br />
year since their tragic loss, the Enderles<br />
present a gift basket to the first girl born at<br />
Southeast on their daughter’s birthday in<br />
loving memory of Kyla Jo. Barb explains, “It’s<br />
a way to celebrate Kyla’s birthday <strong>and</strong> help<br />
another parent celebrate the birth of their<br />
daughter too.”<br />
Barb is a volunteer with the Southeast Share<br />
program which offers counseling <strong>and</strong><br />
support to families who have experienced<br />
the loss of a baby. Barb says, “The Share<br />
volunteers were such a blessing to us. That’s<br />
why I became involved. Share provides the<br />
support to work through the overwhelming<br />
grief as well as providing burial <strong>for</strong> the<br />
babies of those families who cannot af<strong>for</strong>d it.<br />
Share also gives the family some items that<br />
provide tangible proof that they indeed had<br />
a precious baby. This program is so valuable<br />
<strong>for</strong> those families. Thank you, Southeast-<br />
HEALTH Foundation.”<br />
