Walk for Life
Saturday, October 3, 2026
One year ago, Bella passed the torch. After years of faithful, life-affirming ministry in the Oshkosh community, Bella entrusted its mission, its clinic, and the precious families it served to Vida. We know that moment carried real emotion for those of you who loved and supported Bella. Trust like yours is not transferred. It is earned. And by God’s grace, that is exactly what we have set out to do.
One year later, we are humbled and grateful to share what the Lord has done through your faithfulness, right here in Oshkosh. Because of your support, women and families throughout the Oshkosh community are receiving the hope, compassion, and practical support they need to make life-affirming decisions and build a strong foundation for lasting stability.
As we celebrate all that God has accomplished, we invite you to Vida’s annual Walk for Life on Saturday, October 3, 2026. We are honored to continue this beloved tradition that meant so much to the Bella community.
Gather your family and friends and join us (rain or shine) for a meaningful two-mile walk that embraces the God-given value of all human persons and ensures that Vida’s life-changing services continue for years to come. Whether you walk alongside us or support the event from afar, every step and every gift helps empower Vida’s work and mission.

Why did you change the starting location this year?
This year, Walk for Life will begin and end at South Park (Pavilion #4) rather than at Vida Medical Clinic. This change will allow you and your family/friends to enjoy a moment of fellowship in this beautiful space after the walk. Oshkosh’s South Park features beautiful lagoons, walking paths, and an inclusive playground.
Can I still walk if I don’t fundraise?
Yes! First and foremost, this event is about community. Your presence is priceless! Every step you take with us raises awareness for Vida’s life-changing services in Oshkosh and throughout Northeastern Wisconsin. Come join us, walk with us, enjoy a beautiful park with us, and celebrate the God-given value of human life!
What should I wear?
Good walking shoes! We’ll be walking about two miles, rain or shine. Therefore, you might also want to watch the weather closely and bring rain gear (or additional layers) if needed. If you have Vida apparel, we encourage you to show it off! You may also wear something blue to represent Vida’s primary brand colors.
Can I bring my children?
Yes! This is a family-friendly event! Our walk will begin and end at South Park, which features a beautiful playground! We encourage you to stay after the walk and fellowship with other families as your kiddos enjoy the park!
