What is Hike for Hospice?

Hike for Hospice is a Canada-wide event that brings together community members to show support, spread awareness, and raise funds for hospice palliative care services. Each year, thousands of ‘hikers’ will participate in events put on by their local hospice palliative care organizations. All funds raised stay within the community in which they were raised and will help ensure that local palliative individuals are able to benefit from the programs and services Hospice has to offer.
