About
Hike For Hospice
Hike for Hospice is an annual fundraising event that brings the community together to honor loved ones, raise awareness, and support compassionate end-of-life care at Grey Bruce Hospice. Each year, participants of all ages gather to walk, hike, or run in support of Grey Bruce Hospice Foundation, ensuring that individuals facing a terminal illness receive dignified, no-cost palliative care in a comforting environment.
This family-friendly event is not just a fundraiser—it’s a chance to celebrate memories, show support for hospice care, and connect with others who share a passion for giving back. Whether you participate in memory of a loved one, as a supporter of hospice care, or simply to enjoy a meaningful day in nature, every step you take helps us continue providing comfort, peace, and support to those in need.
Join us for Hike for Hospice and be part of something truly impactful! 💙
