From community members to corporate supporters, all ages are encouraged to join in the fun and show their support for the Ed's House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre Foundation. Approximately 160 individuals and 40 dogs are participating in Hike, Bike, and Bark for Hospice. This year, we announced the launch of a brand-new website created to simplify event registration, provide important information, share updates, offer promotional materials, and showcase our sponsors. Check it out at www.hikebikebarkforhospice.ca. |
| WHY | The Foundation’s purpose is to raise funds to support the operation of Community Care Northumberland’s hospice service programs in our community including the Palliative Care Community Team and Volunteer Hospice Visiting program which operate alongside the 24/7 end-of-life care provided at Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre. As you may know, Ed's House has recently undergone a significant expansion, increasing our capacity from a 6-bed to a 10-bed hospice. This expansion allows us to extend our compassionate care to more individuals and families in need during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Through the generosity of our community, our suite of services is offered at no charge to clients and their families. |
