Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice invites all Mainers to Hike for Hospice, set for Saturday, May 18, at Pineland Farms, at 15 Farm View Drive in New Gloucester..
The event aims to raise awareness for the importance of end-of-life care, emphasizing the support, kindness, and compassion that hospice services offer to patients and their families throughout Maine. The hike endeavors to help ensure that high-quality hospice services are available to all individuals and their families throughout the state regardless of their ability to pay.
The event will include a traditional or ADA-compliant trail, face painting, and family fun. Although the event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., there is no designated start time. Participants are encouraged to hike and experience all that Pineland Farms has to offer at their leisure, according to a news release from Androscoggin’s Community Relations and Development Manager Leslie Ogilvie.
Participants can also join virtually, walking at their own pace in the location of their choice — as an individual or a team. Virtual participants can email photos, videos, and/or stories of their participation to leslie.ogilvie@androscoggin.org, on the Androscoggin Facebook page, or through the hashtag #HikeForHospice2024.
To register or learn more, email Ogilvie or visit androscoggin.org.
