18th Run/Hike for Hospice coming this June

Apr 2, 2025 | 11:37 AM

The Run/Hike for Hospice, in support of the Red Deer Hospice Society, is quickly approaching.

The event is now in its 18th year and will go ahead June 8 at Bower Ponds, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

This year, participants can choose to walk, stroll, or run 1 km, 3 km, or 5 km around the beautiful trails at Bower Ponds, helping the organization to reach its fundraising goal of $55,000.

“Red Deer Hospice is a residential end-of-life care facility located in the quiet neighbourhood of Anders on the Lake in south Red Deer,” the organization says.

“Our 16 private rooms ensure peace, intimacy and dignity for residents and loved ones. Our 24-hour professional staff and volunteers work together, along with valued input from our residents and families, to ensure each resident receives individualized care. We also offer bereavement support to individuals who seek it, extending our care beyond the residents we serve.”
