It’s your final week to sign up for the annual Hike For Hospice in Orillia.
It will take place this upcoming weekend, when you can choose your own adventure and hiking trail to support members of our community, who are living with illness, dying and grieving.
100% of the proceeds from the annual event stay in the area by directly supporting the services offered by Hospice Orillia and Mariposa House Hospice.
Organizers say the COVID-19 pandemic has changed so many things about how we live each day, and it has affected us all – individuals and families, businesses and charitable organizations.
In Orillia, Hospice Orillia and Mariposa House Hospice provide a variety of services that support people through these very challenging and very meaningful life experiences. Each year in May, these two organizations host an event to acknowledge and celebrate the work done by their staff and volunteers to ensure that everyone in our community who needs hospice palliative care support – no matter where they are – receives it.
The annual Hike for Hospice event is integral for both organizations as it enhances our sense of community, increases awareness of Hospice Palliative Care, and raises much-needed funds.
The 2021 Hike for Hospice Orillia will take place on May 1 and 2.
There are many options for supporting this event including: registering as a hiker, donating to another participant, becoming an event sponsor, or promoting the event to your friends, family members, and co-workers.
Participants will have the opportunity to hike when and where they’d like. Think of this as a “Choose Your Own Adventure” Hike for Hospice which can take you to Scout’s Valley, Grant’s Woods, the waterfront, your garden, or to your favourite hiking trail.
