Hike for Hospice 2024
June 15 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm
Join us for Hike for Hospice 2024!
Hike for Hospice is a family-friendly event that raises funds for Lionel Kelland Hospice. The Hospice is a place where those at the end-of-life receive the care, respect and dignity they deserve, and their families will have the critical support and resources they need. Now open, the Hospice serves people from communities throughout Central NL.
We invite you to hike, bike, walk, wheel, kayak, run, do yoga or simply be active during the week of June 9 to 15. Choose your own distance or duration. Participate in your hometown, worksite or wherever you happen to be.
We also encourage teams to come together with other supporters on Saturday, June 15 at 10:30 a.m. for a community hike beginning at Shanawdithit Centennial Field Complex in Grand Falls-Windsor with a final Victory walk to Lionel Kelland Hospice.
You can create your own team of family, friends or co-workers or participate solo.
Thanks to the generous support of our presenting sponsor, Calibre Valentine Gold Mine, 100 per cent of funds raised through Hike for Hospice supports our 10-bed community based residential hospice.
Get Involved
Register as an individual, team up with your family, or challenge your co-workers and friends to get involved. Individuals who make a minimum $25 donation to kick off their own fundraising will earn a 2024 Hike For Hospice T-Shirt! By registering online, you build your own fundraising page that you can share with your friends and family. Families with children are encouraged to participate (and fundraise), but we don’t expect families to make donations for children under 12.
Fundraise
Reach out to your friends and family for pledges and help us raise funds to ensure residents at Lionel Kelland Hospice receive the care, dignity and respect they deserve. Donations and pledges, no matter how large or small, help create a peaceful home-like environment for people who are in the final stage of their lives.
Participants may track their successes and their team’s progress online.
