Hike for Hospice Chatham-Kent
Coinciding with the one year anniversary of the opening of the community’s residential hospice, Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation will host the first annual Hike for Hospice fundraising walk on the afternoon of Sunday, April 23.
Organizers are inviting all our Hospice supporters, friends and neighbours to help us celebrate and reconnect with the great outdoors by joining us as we walk through Mud Creek Trail in Chatham. The walk will be a family-friendly event with t-shirts, music and more. Stroller, walkers and wheelchairs are welcome on this accessible and pet-friendly trail. With multiple trail lengths to choose from, people of all fitness levels will enjoy this afternoon of fun.
As part of the activities, ‘Lincoln Driven to Give’ will be onsite. You can help us drive away with up to $7,500 from Lincoln Canada by registering for a short test drive. Participants can pre-register at www.lincolndriventogive.ca/en/hospicewalk (recommended but not required).
All pledges and proceeds collected will directly support the ongoing operational needs of the Chatham-Kent Hospice.
Register before April 10th at www.hikeforhospiceck.com or by calling 519-354- 3113 ext. #2404.
