Hospice Wellington’s 20th Hike for Hospice raises over $70,000
GUELPH – About 450 hikers participated in the 20th annual Hike for Hospice in support of Hospice Wellington on June 2.
Hikers of all ages walked along trails through Guelph’s Riverside Park.
The full hike was almost five kilometres, but hikers were invited to turn back early for a shorter walk.
After the hike participants enjoyed a barbecue and dog show, where people dressed their dogs in costumes and dogs were awarded prizes based on their costume, attitude and behaviour.
Awards were also presented for the most spirited team, and teams and individuals that collected the most donations.
Donations raised through Hike for Hospice totalled at least $73,521, not including registration fees and sponsorships.
