The results are in for Chatham-Kent's 2022 Hike for Hospice.
The event ran from April 25 through May 1 at the Mud Creek Trail in Chatham. According to Special Event Chair for the Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation Board of Directors Randi Bokor Caron, throughout the spring hikers collected pledges and raised over $128,700.
“We are always impressed with the dedication of our hikers to supporting Hospice residents and their families," said Caron. "It was touching to once again see Mud Creek trail lined with signs memorializing those loved and lost. We hope next year to be able to gather and hike together again.”
The funds will be used to support Chatham-Kent Hospice's mission to provide compassionate end-of-life care for local families at no cost. The organization requires $121,000 per month in order to operate the 10-bed facility.
“Thank you to everyone who participated, at Mud Creek or in your own community, those who pledged their support and to all our sponsors,” said Caron.
