Description
On Sunday, June 27th, join us for the fifth annual Hike for Hospice to benefit Porter Hospice and St. Anthony Hospice. For more than twenty five years, these two non-profit hospice programs have helped thousands of people through their end-of-life journey, giving them comfort and peace at a time when they need it most. Hikers enjoy beautiful views as they climb to 7,600 feet to the top of Olinger Mount Lindo, home of the illuminated cross in Morrison.
All funds raised from Hike for Hospice go towards supporting charity care and hospice services not reimbursed by the Medicare Hospice Benefit including spiritual care, bereavement services, volunteer coordination and palliative care for children through the Butterfly Program.
Hikers can release a dove at the summit in honor or memory of a loved one while overlooking downtown Denver and the foothills. Leashed dogs are also welcome to hike.
For more information and to register, please visit www.hikeforhospice.org. Hikers can register individually for $25 or in a team of six for $140. If you have additional questions, please call 303.715.7612.
