Hike for Hospice 2024

Join us at the Stratford Perth Museum on Sunday, June 23rd or choose to Hike on your Site - whether that be at a family cottage, at your workplace or in your neighbourhood - as part of this year's 10th annual Hike for Hospice!

Regardless of how, when, and where you choose to Hike, please join us at 12:00pm on Hike day for a BBQ lunch, music, games, and more!

Did we mention there will be cake?

On June 22, 2019, a ribbon cutting was held to officially open the doors of Rotary Hospice. On June 23, 2024, join us as we recognize 5 years of making moments matter.

Returning this year: the Memorial Hikers' Wall. Please submit your story* and a photo to be displayed in our hospice home pre-event, and then again on event day at the venue (*please keep in mind space is limited).

We encourage all hikers to share your hike with us! Post your hike photos and tag @RotaryHospice on Instagram and @RotaryHospiceStratfordPerth on Facebook; we want to hear about your Hike for Hospice experience!

Please know, however and whenever you choose to take your steps, your actions will have an impact on all those who will call Rotary Hospice 'home'.

There is no cost for an individual to stay at Rotary Hospice, however, there is a cost. Rotary Hospice must fundraise $350 per day, per room.

Your fundraising efforts will ensure that, in the words of Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern day hospice care movement...

" You matter because you are you, and you matter until the end of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die."

Thank you for caring!

Hike for Hospice donations will be accepted up until Sunday, June 30th at 11:59PM!
