Hike for Hospice

This spring, people across Canada will gather pledges and then HIKE to raise public awareness of hospice palliative care. This major fundraising initiative will help advance the hospice care programs & services in Simcoe County communities.

WHAT IS HOSPICE PALLIATIVE CARE?

Hospice palliative (compassionate) care provides physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical support to people living with life-threatening illness and those coping with the loss of a loved one.

WHY HIKE?

Only 16%-30% of Canadians who die currently have access to or receive hospice palliative care services. Even fewer receive grief and bereavement services.

Hospice Simcoe’s palliative care is currently under-funded and under-recognized.

COME HIKE WITH US

Come meet others or form a team with friends, family or coworkers and HIKE WITH US. Teams can simply designate a team captain, choose a team name and together have a ton of fun!
