Hospice SLO County’s Walk For Healing Challenge, from May 1 – June 11, aims to collectively record 25,000 miles and raise $50,000 in six weeks.
Registration is open now at www.hospiceslo.org/events. The community can choose to participate as an individual, as a team, or as a donor. Participants can log their miles by walking, running, hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking, or any other sport you can think of.
Grief and loss are part of the human condition and in times of loss, we often neglect our self-care. This is an opportunity to care for yourself as you join the Walk For Healing virtual challenge and experience healing and connection knowing that you are helping others.
The Walk For Healing challenge will raise funds to ensure Hospice SLO County has enough resources to recruit, train, supervise, and support a compassionate Volunteer Corps that provides community-wide grief, in-home, pet, and end-of-life support. Your participation will make a direct impact to support the ill and grieving in SLO County.
“So many of us have had a loss of some sort,” Director of Development Susan Olson said. “We are honored to give the community the opportunity to remember those lost and to make concrete goals to improve our overall health. Hospice SLO County is a volunteer hospice and we do not charge fees or bill insurance. All of our income comes from direct donations and fundraisers. We appreciate your help.”
