Every Step You Take Makes a Difference!
Hike for Hospice Huntsville 2022 will be held In-person at River Mill Park in Huntsville on Sunday, May 1st. When you participate, you will be hiking to help ensure our community members receive the end-of-life care they wish for and deserve. Funds raised by all of the participants stays in our community and assists Hospice Huntsville in providing care and support at no cost to individuals and their families who are facing end-of-life situations. Hospices receive funding for only 40% of operating costs through government partners. The remaining 60% must be raised through events, fundraising campaigns and donations.
In addition, the Hike is a way to celebrate and honour our loved ones in a special and meaningful way. Opening Ceremonies will be both virtually and in-person and, as always, there will be an opportunity to write a note to your loved one and hang it on the Memory Branches. Later in May the Memory Branches will be planted, along with the notes in the beautiful Algonquin Grace gardens.
