Women Swimmin' for Hospicare is a community event that raises money for Hospicare & Palliative Care Services.

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,


Emily Butler

Jewel and me

This is my happy place - heading out for a ride in the woods, cantering along country roads, escaping the busy-ness of the online world. For me, this kind of escape is only possible on a horse, or in the water. When I swim, I practice inhaling TRUTH and exhaling LOVE. Then I reverse the words: breathing in LOVE and breathing out TRUTH. Can't wait to swim like this in Cayuga Lake, feeling the splashing of hundreds of other women swimmin', all of us supporting a remarkable cause. When the time of transition comes, may everyone experience the professionalism, dignity and reverence of care like that provided by Hospicare.
