Hike for Hospice

Cowichan Valley Hospice?s 7th annual Hike for Hospice kicks off at 10:00am on Sunday, May 3rd, to the rhythms of the Spirit Drummers, honouring all participants on the tranquil and magnificent grounds of Providence Farm. Join us for a beautiful spring day near the foot of Mt Tzouhalem and share stories of love, inspiration, and fellowship...all in support of hospice palliative care in Cowichan Valley. This annual fundraising event also gives hikers the opportunity to walk in memory of a loved one or honour a friend living with an advancing illness. Community support of Hike for Hospice means that Cowichan families can access Cowichan Valley Hospice care at no charge. Hikers can choose to amble along the gentle 2 or 4 kilometre routes along the lower trails or walk the meditative labyrinth. This event has something to please anyone in the family, including your leashed pet! You won?t want to miss out on the face painting, barbecue lunch, soothing foot soak (available by donation), or the opportunity to win big at the 50/50 draw. Contact us to register as a hiker or as a team and start collecting pledges right away! Online fundraising pages or paper pledge forms...we can help you with the tools to help you reach out to your friends. Want to support us but can't participate?
