Hike for Hospice 2025 – Gander Community Hike
June 7 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us for Hike for Hospice 2025!
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 7 to 14. Choose your own distance or duration. Participate in your hometown, worksite or wherever you happen to be.
We also encourage teams to kick off the week and come together with other supporters on Saturday, June 7 at 10:00 am for a community hike beginning at Cobbs Pond Rotary Park in Gander.
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% of funds raised through Hike for Hospice supports our 10-bed community based residential hospice.

Families with children are encouraged to participate (and fundraise), but we don’t expect families to make donations for children under the age of 12. *If you have a child that would like to receive a t-shirt you can register them as a part of your team and pay the $25 fee to receive the shirt.
