I support the important work Hospicare does by raising money & swimming.
I'll be participating in this year's Go the Distance & Women Swimmin' for Hospicare to raise much-needed funds for Hospicare. While some of us will be swimming and some will be doing other activities to Go the Distance, we realize that our fundraising efforts have a huge impact on the resources available for Hospicare to provide compassionate end-of-life care. I'm proud to be involved in this special community event and grateful to be able to participate. Hospicare needs us more than ever, and we can make a difference!
We're SWIMMING & GOING THE DISTANCE to raise funds that help Hospicare to:
- Provide vital medications to ease pain and manage symptoms
- Provide specialized medical equipment so patients can stay in their own homes
- Train more volunteers to deliver complementary therapies to enhance comfort and peace
- Offer grief counseling sessions
- Continue to provide intensive round-the-clock care at the Hospicare residence for patients who need more care than they can receive in their own homes.
If you can, please join me in supporting their work by making a donation on my fundraising page - you’ll find a link below. I hope you'll consider making a gift.
Wishing you good health and happiness,
Liz
Greetings! This picture was taken at a cottage on the shores of Otisco Lake. I have swam in Otisco Lake (the Eastern-most "pinky" of the Fingerlakes) for my entire life, and my extended family for many decades before that. In fact, my dad was just telling me the other day about swimming in that lake when he was 6 and he remembers his mother, my grandmother (who passed away in 2021 at 97 years old, with Hospicare by her side), swimming with him. I am honored to be participating in Women Swimmin' and would like your support to honor those whose lives have been and will be benefitted by Hospicare.
