‘Hike For Hospice’ exceeds expectations in 2021

The community has stepped up again to support Chatham-Kent Hospice families and residents through Hike for Hospice held last week.

Over $143,000 was raised to ensure families continue to receive compassionate, end-of-life care at no cost, Hospice officials say.

“The support for this year’s Hike for Hospice is stunning,” stated Randi Bokor Caron, event chair, in a media release.

“We were happy to be back out at Mud Creek Trail – even though everyone participated on their own time, it felt much more like our traditional Hike for Hospice. We received so many kind messages about the touching memorial signs along the trail. They certainly served as a reminder of why we host this event and the spirit of Hospice.”

Bokor Caron added: “Thank you to everyone who participated, at Mud Creek or in your own community, and those who pledged their support. We would especially like to thank our title sponsor, Battery Boy.”

Additional sponsors included MicroAge/MC Business Solutions, Teksavvy, Howard Mutual Insurance, Tim Horton’s, and Watson Wealth Management Group.

“We also had many workplaces from across Chatham-Kent participate in our corporate challenge,” Bokor Caron said.

“Whether they are working from home or just at a distance, it was a fun and safe, team-building opportunity to do some good in our community. Congratulations to The MCBS Girls, winner of the 2021 Corporate Challenge.”
