The 2025 Hike for Hospice was held on Sunday in Olds and Didsbury.
With the date for this year’s event being May the 4th, it featured a Star Wars theme.
Mary Marshall, Executive Director of the Mountain View Hospice Society, points out that they are fundraising mainly for their client services. She says “so that means our navigation care program, our two community hospice suites, supporting hospice at home and in the hospital, and our bereavement. So it’s really all about supporting people that are in need.”
They had a about 75 participants for the hike in Olds which started at Holy Trinity Catholic School and Marshall adds that is down from previous years, but every year is different.
She thinks they did a good job of raising awareness and about $20,000 was collected for hospice palliative care in Mountain View County.
You can still donate to the Hike for Hospice until the end of this month by going online to OldsHospice.com.
