Hospice society celebrates 30 years

Nanaimo Hospice is celebrating 30 years of caring in the community and hopes to raise money to continue its work during the upcoming Hike For Hospice.

A Walk to Remember kicks off Hospice Month May 1 at Maffeo Sutton Park. Registration begins at 10 a.m. and the walk begins at 11 a.m. Last year’s event raised more than $32,000.

People can pick up participation pledge forms at the Nanaimo Community Hospice Society office at 1729 Boundary Ave. or online at www.nanaimohospice.com.

Or for those who can’t make it to the event but still want to support the organization, Wendy Pratt, society executive director, invites people to pledge her walk. People can make donations online, at the hospice office or by calling 250-758-8857.
