Virtual Hike for Hospice - Ohio's Hospice of Fayette County

Ohio’s Hospice of Fayette County Holds Virtual Hike for Hospice Event

The annual Hike for Hospice to benefit Ohio’s Hospice of Fayette County has been moved to an online event due to COVID-19. The Virtual Hike for Hospice event now runs through July 26, at 7 pm.

This year, walkers can participate three ways: purchasing a memory walk sign, tracking their miles, or donating to Ohio’s Hospice of Fayette County. Proceeds from the event will benefit patient and family services for the not-for-profit, community-based Ohio’s Hospice of Fayette County. 

“This is a wonderful event for families and friends to celebrate, honor or memorialize a loved one,” said Tammy Bobbitt, interim executive director of Ohio’s Hospice of Fayette County. “In many ways, our loved ones are always with us through the things they did in their lives, and they continue to live on in our memories.” 

Sponsors of the Virtual Hike for Hospice include UBS, Fayette Memorial Hospital, Court House Manor, Parrett Insurance, Fayette Home Healthcare, and Fayette Style Shop. 

Registration 

Walker registration is now open. The cost to participate as a walker is $10 for adults and $10 for youth.

Since this is an ongoing online event, walkers can keep track of their miles from now until July 26, for recognition of participation. Walkers can email their final mileage to STraux@OhiosHospice.org by Sunday, July 26, to qualify for an award. An award will be given to the individual who logged the most steps.
