Beth Donovan Hospice invites you to be part of our 15th Annual Hike for Hospice, a community-wide event filled with purpose, remembrance, and joy. This year’s hike takes place on Sunday, May 25th at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville — but you can also hike anytime in May.

We’re aiming to raise $50,000 to support our free, compassionate programs for those facing life-limiting illness, caregiving, or grief. Funds raised will also help us move forward with our two newly approved hospice suites — a vital addition for our community.

It’s a pet-friendly event, with a relaxed, family vibe. Expect BBQ lunch, face painting, a touching memorial display, and of course, the return of our Purple Boot Campaign — keep an eye out for purple boots in local shops all month long!
