2025 Women Swimmin' for Hospicare

Women Swimmin' & Go-the-Distance 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, 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.  

I am swimming in memory of my friend Barbara Kane Lewis who passed away from cancer and had such excellent and loving end of life care at Hospicare. I am also swimming in honour of my friend Edna Brown who works at Hospicare as a social worker and makes such a difference in the lives of people who use their services. 

All of us are 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 additional 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,
